After the memorial day flood in Austin, Tx, back in 1981 or so, many of the stores along 10th and Lamar were flooded, where water levels reached 8+ feet inside retailers, Whole Foods Market store #1 being hit and Louis Shanks furniture, with furniture floating all around in the area locally. Whole Foods Mkt. was giving away some of the unsellable items right afterwards so I drove down with my black lab retriever to go pick up some free dog food. It was hot and humid that Saturday around high noon as I filled the car up. The dog followed along the cement walkway that led to the front of the store. There was a 3 ft drop off from that walk way in the front of the store that allowed patrons the opportunity to relax and enjoy their coffee as they read their newspaper. It was time to go, however, my male dog wasn't satisfied quite yet. He decided along the way back to the car to lift his leg directly behind a parton as he diligently read his paper. How long did this last, well..... it seemed forever. This yellow stream continued for quite a while in fact, about as long as a full bladder to relieve itself would take. I could only pray the excrement leaving his body matched identically the recipients sweaty back and body temperature. Apparently it did because there was no flinch or movement whatsoever. At the end of the near disaster, I proceeded to request my dog to move toward the car. Once inside, we pulled out and drove past the store on that hot, muggy, almost summer day, only to find the recipient of my dogs long winded release was still there, patiently reading intently at his newspaper drinking coffee in same form I first saw him. I was thinking to myself all the while, I couldn't believe this just happened. LOL
