The lighting here is pretty flat. Maybe you could pep it up some in PS?

Maybe a tighter crop above her and behind her... um behind? So she is a little more off center and some sharper focus. I do like all the textures in this photo, the purple of her shirt and the happy face on the doggie.
Is the dog named after The Queen of the Damned?

Tighter, tighter, tighter. I forget who said (I think it was Scott Kelby), but when it comes to portraits, whenever you think you are close, take one more step towards your subject. Tight framing and close subjects would show the mood you are trying to convey.
