The Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency arrived in Kerr County, Texas on August 13th. Although the flooding had occurred in early July, July 4th & 5th, there was still plenty of work to be done, and mammals that needed help.

Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus stood beside the Guadalupe River, which was still running higher than normal.

“It is important to consider, “ said Stegosaurus, “....that there are still mammals in need, even after their news

departments have moved onto other things.”

“I agree,” said Ankylosaurus, “I am so glad to have had this experience with you and the rest of the Agency. This has been hard work, but very uplifting.”

The Sauropods were in the river, quite happy, but also working to drink some of the water to reduce the flood conditions. Since they were large enough to do so they made bridges out of themselves where necessary, and all the while Nigersaurus was now singing “The Old Dun Cow.”

Brachiosaurus observed to Apatosaurus and Diplodocus that the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, and in this tragedy 135 mammals became extinct, including 20 children.”

“How very sad,” observed Stegosaurus, overhearing this grim statistic. “The children who love me so, for some reason. We must save and help whomever we can.” Stegosaurus began to work more quickly , appearing to become even more determined as he wept openly for the small mammal children.

“This river is too high yet, we must stop singing and drink more!” declared Nigersaurus.

“Along the Texas Hill Country area on July 5th the equivalent of 4 months of rain fell in one day,” observed Woolly Rhino. “How terribly tragic,” said Western Black Rhino. “I wish we had been here to save them.”

“What is done is done. Tragically, extinction is forever, but they are in a better place now with their God.” said Trachodon.

“A wise observation,” said Woolly Rhino. “Tonight we must pray for their souls to have found comfort in the arms of their Savior. We must also inform Woolly Mammoth and Kentrosaurus so they too, can pray for the souls of these lost mammals.”

Agathaumas and Trachodon proceeded together to the shore, where they helped Rhedosaurus and Lady Rhedosaurus carry dirt and sand in order to work on shoreline stabilization.

“We have come to help you,” called Agathumas.

“Glad to have you in on this project!” declared Lady Rhedosuarus. “Many claws make short work.”

“You’ll be proud of me,” Rhedosaurus told his beloved wife. “I got hungry before work, but I did not eat a policeman.”

“I am proud of you, my beloved.” responded Lady Rhedosaurus.

“Do you remember that armored vehicle we saw when we first entered the State of Texas?” asked Rhedosaurus.

“Yes,” his wife confirmed hesitantly.

“I ate the two armed guards, and they almost tasted like policemen. I felt it was a nice compromise.”

Lady Rhedosaurus sighed and shook her head.

Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus climbed up on a hill beside the Guadalupe River where they rested and found a nice patch of Salvia pentstemonoides. Which they heartily dined upon.

“I thought the work we performed in Export, Pennsylvania was exhausting,” said Ankylosaurus but the work here is much harder and heartbreaking. Though I am certainly glad to be involved.”

“We’re glad to have you and hope you will return to help us when the emergencies of our times have need for our services,” said Stegosaurus.

“I will try to when I can, but when we have completed here I must return to Montana and my support group for partially discovered dinosaurs.”

“I understand,” said Stegosaurus. The work you do there is equally important.”

The Stegosaurus Disaster Relief Agency remained in Kerr County, Texas from mid August to the end of September, the mammals there were grateful to have received their help in their recovery efforts.
