Others first
This is Penny (named because of her coloring.) We've been dog-sitting for a week, with one more to go. She's a very good dog, but let me tell you...it's definitely an adjustment to my routine. It's easy to get frusturated and annoyed, but I have to remember she's a dog away from her home and may need to be a little clingy. I have to remember she may not do her business quickly when there's 6inches of snow outside. I have to remember that it's probably difficult for her to eat her dog food when there's a toddler playing in her dish. I have to remember to focus on her *sigh.* It's been a good wake up call for me. I have to remember to focus on others' needs, not just my own.

Life with a dog can get crazy. She's adorable though, probably helps make up for her getting under foot in the kitchen. : ) Great photos, her eyes look amazing.
oh my gosh she is sooo adorable. Those big eyes just melt my heart. I LOVE #3 best.. she looks so innocent.
awww...she looks like she is really missing her home. and she is just beautiful. love your DOF here.
These are all good but I LOVE #3. That should be blown up on canvas. So cute!
Oh she is so cute! And you are so nice to be taking care of her. She is obviously very photogenic. Maybe she could be a source of some good inspiration :)
What a loving post.
These are all great and the light is awesome!!! LOVE the last one. How precious.

Heather, Those puppy dog eyes are just too much. Great focus. I'm impressed that you agreed to dog-sit. You already have your hands full with your two little guys! Good for you!
That is the cutest dog I have ever seen!!! I swear I have two children sometimes when I add in our golden retriever!!!
Still thinking you want a dog for little A?!
So . . . you won't be buying the boys' a puppy soon!? ;) lol She's as sweet as can be. Who could get upset looking into those puppy eyes?
Ohh you shouldn't have posted this. I read all the things you wrote that could be difficult but all I see are the adorable eyes and I want one. She's so cute!! These color here is amazing.
Your pictures amaze me! They always have such beautiful color and clarity!
LOVE that 3rd shot! Oh, those eyes!!!
Sooo precious! Great shots of her!
How cute!! I think sometimes we all need to remember to focus on others!! Great job!!
Love the first picture! Her eyes speak to you! Nice focus!
How sweet!
Awwww...she is so sweet...and I'm not a big doggie fan...
I love the dof in these pics too....I always love your pics Heather, you are so talented!!
Heather...the train tracks are the wooden Brio ones. We gave him his first little zoo set at 15 months and he's been in LOVE ever since. The track was a simple oval and he would sit on the floor pushing the trains around the circle, studying how the wheels worked, taking the track apart and trying to put it back together... I bet little A would love for you to set up a small track and have at it!
Your pictures are always so amazing. That dog is so cute. Makes me want a dog and I can't let my dd see the screen or we will have to look at your pics for the rest of the night.
aww what a precious puppy!
your shots are awesome!
Awww, what a cutie! Love how you captured the eyes in these!!
Oooh, I've loved looking through your blog...love the hats in the snow pic and the New Years Card design...it's good to take a look at all you guys have been up to!!
3rd photo Rocks! love her eyes!!! what a pretty shade of brown/red too!
I love the focus and the setting you used. Is this a prime lens? Thanks!
Great pictures. I tried animal pictures before, but danged if the pooch would sit still. These are beautiful, lighting, focus, everything.
How cute, the 3rd one is awesome.
Gorgeous photos of a dog. That's so hard, plus you played around with DOF. I bet her family will love them!
Nice looking dog, great captures.
Im dieing over these! Oh my gosh, these are fantastic! Wouldnt it be great if you did a storyboard of these for her owner? I am clueless about the cost of that, but I would die if this was my dog (in a good way :) And I must say, everytime I come to your blog, your blog banner makes me smile, waht a darling family!
WOW, I love seeing truly good photographs. I think these are some of the best canine shots I've ever seen!
I don't know if people realize how difficult it is to shoot pets...but you got it girl!!!
Looking at your blog is a breath of fresh air...and not to mention inspiration!
Cheers,

OOOH what a beautiful dog and job! You did great capturing Penny. I love the third picture!
Love that last one!
The third picture is my favorite. He looks so content on being a dog. Adorable pics Heather! Toni
Penny has beautiful coloring, love her eyes. The first shot is my favorite. So nice of you to care for her. Thanks for the WB photo tips!
Awww she is so sweet! I have puppy fever bad, but I know I don't have the time (or energy) to focus on one. Thanks for the reminder.
What gorgeous captures! That is so sweet of you to take care of her. It is not easy, especially when they aren't yours, but I know doggies have a really hard time being away from home/family. These are just especially awesome.
Guess you won't be adding a dog to your household soon if you can look at those gorgeous puppy dog eyes and not want to keep her :-) I love the way you captured her. Awesome focus on her eyes.
Too bad we didn't live closer together, Heather. I'd teach you to knit and you could teach me how to crochet.
Oh she is precious! Love the 3rd pic... so cool!
Sweet sweet sweet pictures!!
Oh just look at those eyes! I want to hug my monitor and hope it's as soft and comfy as the puppy looks in those pics!
She is a cutie! Love your journaling....
Such beautiful pictures! love the focus on that adorable face!
