8 Irish Wolfhound Puppies

Daisy had 8 Irish Wolfhound Puppies this weekend! Yay! I helped whelp them all and am exhausted. I could blame being an overwhelmed hard-working mother of 4 dogs, (now 12) 3 kids, 2 birds and a cat for one of the reasons I wasn't up on terms like Social Media, Live Web, and Widgets but there are a few women with the same description above perhaps with a few less pets who make millions of dollars every year knowing all the above.

That's when I decided to talk to the best teacher I know, Debbie Cluff. She is truly a "zany" little lady and a master educator, born and raised in Pasadena, California, who seems to have a knack for turning the complex into an elementary
