Chad.
I'm just yanking your chain. The package is in perfect, absolute pristine condition. This is a work of art. I love everything: the background card, the package itself, and of course, the pup! Everything stays the way it is, the way it was meant to be. I will probably never open it.
Now I feel bad for messing with you. Please accept my apologies.
(To those of you out there, Chad sent me a PM offering to replace the background card because I mislead him into thinking I had mangled it attempting to open the package with a saw knife. I point this out because this just goes to show what a great guy he is, along with being a great painter - and sculptor, to boot.)
I was surprised, however, by the size of the pup. When you first posted "Soda Pup," I was under the impression (for whatever reason) that it was really small, maybe an inch or so in height, when in actuality it is probably at least three times that size. Very well detailed, too.
Again, Chad, thank you. I love owning unique pieces that one just doesn't see everyday, and this makes a wonderful addition to my collection.
It's always a pleasure during business with you!

(Now I just need a companion cat piece...)
