Default A boxful of sheltie

First of all I wanted to thank those who had such nice replies to my first post the other day. I didn't even think of doing that. Bad me. I live in Houston so it's entirely too hot to go outside to take pics. My shelties also have to find something to amuse themselves inside as well. My youngest, Jenna, decided that this box made a great plaything, amusing herself for over an hour. The one of her laying in the box is just for fun but it's the head shot that I really loved. Let me know what you think but please be gentle. Remember, I'm a newbie at this. Taken with my new Nikon D40 which I Iove so far.

Just like a child....the simplest things and they have a great time!

Wonderful photos of your lovely Jenna.

Isn't it funny, you can buy them expensive toys, but they always love the simple things, a box or a sock,
the shots are great, I especially love the head shot and her pretty baby blues !!

Nice pictures. That close up shows one happy pup!
It's funny what they find to play with, my Bella loves to play with empty plastic bottles and her blanket.
