My Pops loved a good joke or “gag”, we grew up cutting up as kids, it was alway insanely funny with four boys and my Dad in the house. So it made perfect sense to email him saying, “After much thought and discussions Birgit & I have decided to adopt a 2 year old ”.
He was over the moon with the thought of his eldest Son finally being a Dad too, and himself of course being a Granddad again.
So, when Pops found out our boy (Elvis) was a canine and not a kid, he was really pissed off with me and didn’t call for a several months. Then they met in Hawaii and it was ALL love.
When we picked up our adopted son at the pound (HIHS), I promised to take care of him for the rest of his life. I guess that makes me a Dad too. I miss ya Pops, Elvis is happy and well cared for, just like you taught me.
