We give Grandpa his new companion and birthday gift (9-19-09). A little Labrador puppy. (I wanted to get his reaction more than anything.)
EDIT : (8-7-2015)
My grandpa is alive and well. No he does not forget to feed it. My grandpa is in great mental health and physical health for his age (80). No, my grandpa doesn't beat the dog. Sarcasm was not invented yesterday and he has a pretty good sense of humor. My grandpa once told me when I visited him in his home that his only regret, when it comes to the dog, is that he doesn't have the energy anymore to be able to play with him. (If some of you guys are unaware that is very natural for older age.) My Grandpa is an old Naval Aviator and Captain/Airline Pilot. He stays in shape by swimming in his pool, getting on his rowing machine, and trying to keep up with the dog. Both My grandpa and the dog are doing very well and in good health. My grandpa is happy only with the occasional dog frustrations such as dragging mud in the house or other mischief. He is very organized and the dog has a very good home with a family and owner that loves and takes care of him properly.
I'm actually kind of shocked I have to even post anything because there have been so many unnecessarily negative comments about this video. It's like I posted a very offensive video.
To answer some other questions:
He is a yellow Labrador and my grandpa named him "CP" (stands for "Co-Pilot" because of my grandpas history of being a Captain/airline Pilot and Naval Aviator.)
