Lot of new followers and people I dont know. TEXAGEDDON is about coming together fruends and mutals. We have been doing this for 6 years now. Its private land. You will sign a waiver. We have rules.
Its centered on a good time and meeting people and connecting.
Sharing food..

It was a good day yesterday. He's come so far, and a lot of that is down to Dallas and the guys we hang out with - he gets a ton of benefit, just from their example, that he could never get from me and would never get from his dad.
Find your people, folks, and put the time in with them. It's never time wasted.
Another perspective: if you weren't "handling" firearms, your son wouldn't be, either. He's getting quite proficient, as I saw yesterday, and that's because mom encouraged him. Had you not, he'd just be a nerd. Now he'll be a dangerous nerd. 😅#oneofus
Rouge's pups are starting to open their eyes. Anela's will in the next couple days. Pono's are still a week or so away, but they're getting chonky!
Morning everyone! Whelping boxes are cleaned, floors moped, collars adjusted, almost everyone is having second breakfast, and our 27 puppies and 3 mama's are doing well!
Well, it's been a VERY long night. Maintaining warmth, a few episodes of sudden generalized rigidity lasting only a few seconds with relaxation afterward.
Not nursing, but I did get him to take 5ml of formula and some more glucose.
Touch and go.
Having a newborn puppy in crisis is hard.
Puppy got cold. Temp was down to 91.6
Got him warm
Hypiglycemic seizure
Got him revived. Gave glucose. Gave formula.
Got him warmer.
Gave more glucose.
Finally got him to nurse.
Going to be a long night.
Good morning from Hero Labradors! 🐾☀️
Some of us are having breakfast. Some of us are already in a milk coma. And some have apparently decided that the best pillow is another Labrador.
It’s a pretty good morning around here. ❤️🐕🦺

Just wondering a) when is the shindig this year? And b) assuming they're old enough, could 20-30 future service dogs stop by for some socializing?

Yesterday, she brought 11 brand-new Hero Labradors into the world. Today, the hard work continues. Mom is getting some well-earned rest while her 11 little ones stay tucked in close. ❤️🐾
Great service dogs don’t happen by accident. They start here.
Every extraordinary service dog begins with an extraordinary beginning. 🐾🇺🇸
We just launched our Walmart Registry!
Help us give future service dogs the best possible start.

“ Reminds us of the Grace of God
June 20 2005 - the day that changed the trajectory of the Ziegenfuss family.
Today we celebrate 20 years of perseverance, healing, and the impossible.
On this day, 20 years ago, dad met the business end of an IED while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His heart would stop…TWICE, he would contract MRSA…twice, and he would lose his pinky, (among many more graphic physical and mental injuries)
His duty never ended though. He would return to the middle east in 2011 serving in Afghanistan for 6 months, and wouldn’t retire until 2015. As many if you know, his DD-214 would also not be the end of his service to the United States.
He started Hero Labradors in 2016 with the goal of giving back to the veterans that give their all for our freedoms. In almost 10 years, we have donated 199 of our dogs to veterans, first responders, gold star families, police departments, hospitals and other facilities that aid our disabled service members. But none of that would have ever happened if Dad didn’t get hurt.
In 20 years he taught me how to persevere against the impossible, to always fight for the right thing, that your mental and physical health DO NOT determine the rest of your life, and serving others is the most fulfilling thing you can do in your life.
Happy 20th Alive Day, dad! You’re my biggest role model…and the biggest pain in my ass; I’m beyond proud of your recovery and absolutely honored to be your daughter.
Now let’s go eat some steak!”
