“Hey there Delilah, what’s it like to have such pretty hair and match the leaves that fall brought here…” Okay, I’m not a lyricist but Delilah (full name: Hey There Delilah) is most definitely a giant silky smooth barrel of fun, worthy enough to write a song about.
She has a spunky personality, a little mischief hiding amongst that tousled fur and she could win an energy contest against the energizer bunny any day, paws down. I’m really not kidding. Three hours into our session she was still pretending she was the lead horse in the Kentucky derby. Spurts of crazy dog runs around the yard, her hoofs (yes, they sounded like hoofs) pounding on the wet ground, kicking leaves and debris into a swirl behind her. I can only hope she slept after I left. Champions needs their rest.
Speaking of those leaves, aren’t they absolutely gorgeous? Here in sweltering Central Florida, where we experience record highs (of 93 degrees!!) in October you don’t often see that sort of thing so I was kind of in heaven up there in Ohio.
Although we were lucky in that our session didn’t get rained upon, it did get pretty drenched the day before. Therefore, it only took a few minutes for li’l Delilah to soak up her paws and legs into a dog boot formation. I tried drying and brushing but my efforts were futile, I tell ya. The minute I got done, she was down the track again. But she was having SO MUCH FUN! She did laps, played with sticks, broke the sticks into pieces, fetched her toys. All the while, stomping around like the little tomboy that she is. Oh, Delilah, what are we going to do with you? I suppose just cuddle you and pet you and love you and play with you some more 
Thank you Delilah and Krista, of Rainmaker Ranch, for letting me get my workout in your beautiful fall weather.
Kiwi is the softest, fluffiest, most snuggliest ball of love. She is so kind and her fur is just to die for. I couldn’t get enough of her. I was so excited to see her again too, because she’s grown into such a lovely lady! I photographed her 
Lucky, has a unique look and one that I’m certainly drawn to. She’s absolutely adorable. I love her expressions and the scattered white hairs on her face and her…um…beard? Ha ha, it’s just fabulous and it makes her no less of a lady. LOL! She naps in the most adorable positions and has a particular favorite corner of the couch that suits her. A gentle girl with soulful eyes indeed!
Rachel is another Aussie and you’d never know that she was 12! I know! I want to know what skin cream she uses. She is incredibly sweet and gorgeous and wanders around doing what she pleases. What she pleases is to avoid the camera at all costs- ha ha- she’s definitely camera shy but I was able to get a few of her before she realized that’s what I was there for. Hee hee!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Krista & Kathy & Jenny for bringing me up for several days of non-stop doodle rompin’ fun. It was nothing but a pleasure. Your dogs are wonderful, beautful and all so unique. My highest appreciation to you also for being such kind, incredibly responsible and respectable breeders. It has always been obvious that the care, love and life of your animals are the priority.
