This could of been a horror movie wrapped in a suspense with a tragic ending. After months and months and tons of issues my boy was being shipped off Monday. I couldn't wait I was like a kid on that long drive to an amusement park. I pretty much was ecstatic about him coming home. Tuesday comes yes by 1030 I should be the happiest person alive. Well 1030 comes and goes 11 comes around ok driver running late no problem. 130 comes and goes nothing ok so I check my guys tracking he left Sacramento at 3 am in transit no problem. I. get home 5 still nothing I had to. leave at 6 still nothing. I get home
around 930 nothing omg where can he be? Tracking says in transit. So I contact shipper (Zach u were great) and told hi m well its already late gotta wait til morning now. Morning comes Zach tells. me 930 he should be

delivered awesome.
930 comes and goes nothing then 1030. 11 still
nothing. Zach reassures me he's. coming. Ok so 230 3 comes nothing I
have to leave at 4 dammit. 5 o'clock comes around omg where can he be its so cold here. 630 my friend waiting has to leave. I contact Zach again he says that they told him by 7 ok cool 710 nope again nothing I'm worried now where is he 715 720 I'm counting the minutes now well 725 I get a message from Zach he's just been delivered but I wont be home for another 2 hrs crap. So I pull into driveway around 930 last night mind you he was shipped Monday and its not the best of weather and there sits a box finally but omg what will I find when I open? Kids are excited as I pick up box and head inside. Inside can't find anything to cut thru tape while kids in background I wanna open it no I do . Is he a pretty snake 1 asks can I hold him the other says QUITE I yell hoping for best trying not to think of worst. Finally its open I pick up bag man even bag is cold. I grab bottom of bag OMG movement now I scramble to open cold as ice but well alert my boy is home safe and sound. Thank you Zach @ bigsqueezeconstrictors. You were great pic on next message
