They were making good time while on the way to do a college show at Southwest Tennessee Community College last night until the “check engine” light went on. Seconds later, the engine stalled and the ANIMAL RENTALS van slowly crept to a stop about two hours from their destination. Knowing they would never make it in time to do the exotic animal show, Bill Hoffmann called the Chicago office. An hour later, Mark pulled away from the curb. Driving non stop throughout the night he met Bill in the early morning. After transferring the animals to another van, Mark continued to the College minus Mindy the Monkey who refused to leave her dad. While waiting for the tow truck, Mindy amused herself by playing with the steering wheel, while Bill worried that Mark would arrive on time to do the show. A phone call from Mar
k a few hours later eased his pain. Mark was setting up for the first show, the animals were all fine and the show was on schedule.
Later that day, an exhausted and relieved Bill Hoffman drove back to Chicago with Mindy fast sleep in the passenger seat. They would be home in no time, with a new alternator flawlessly doing its job.
Neither rain, sleet, snow or a busted alternator can stop ANIMAL RENTALS from completing their job. Alternators may die, but the show will go on!
