This guy has been special all along and working with Zaya to try keeping Buzzy from knowing what was going on was really a trip and it made it that much more special.

Benz, it was a pleasure conspiring with you to keep Buzzy from knowing this big secret that we had. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat with excitement for a good three weeks! I think the hardest part was having to downplay my thoughts about it every time Buzzy and I talked about the progress pictures you posted. I wish I had a video camera to catch the expression of shock on his face when he opened up the package. I had been at his house for about a half hour with my new puppy as a good distraction when I said real nonchalant, "Oh yeah, I have a little surprise for you." I handed him the can that you wrapped him up in to ship in the box. He took the lid off, and pulled out the well bubble wrapped package. It was fun because although the bubble wrap was clear there were so many layers you couldn't see through it. Then as he peeled off each layer the surprise was slowly but surely revealing himself, and then the realization hit, and out comes, "WHOAAAA!!!! NO WAY!!!" and he stood there studying it in awe, shock and amazement. Honestly even for me it was hard to believe that we were actually in the presence, and in the same room even with that amazing little 3-D Hei Tiki. I also wanted to say that after really getting a good look at this guy up close and in person I said to Buzzy that the pictures of it really don't do it justice, and those were some great pictures! Seriously Benz, this is one spectacular piece of work. I feel honored and lucky to have been the one so fortunate to get this guy, and am absolutely thrilled to give him to Buzzy. I know how much he appreciates everything that you put into making him. We both will cherish this guy forever. Thank you Benz, thank you for everything. The whole experience was priceless. xxx
