I hope you guys are enjoying this because this part just put me behind any reasonable... uh... how can I say it nicely. Whatever. I hope y'all enjoy because between stupid tablet drivers and slow stupid Photoshop the lag and wigglyness for strokes was like Chernobyl 1986. A DISASTER. Ugh, I hate hate hate complex linework in Photoshop, FireAlpaca eats Ps for breakfast. -.-;
It killed most of the footy fun for me. AND I HAD TO DRAW HEADS FOR LIKE THREE HOURS JUST TO GET THAT STUPID THING DONE I WASTED MY EFFORT GUH dumb inability to do this *skips tablet pen off table* XD I love skipping my pen off the table but at least I did it.
Next part comes painting, and a lot of lessons learned!

Holy moly... how did I miss this when you posted it! Looking great so far. :) Oh gods, I know what you mean about Photoshop's wiggly darn brushes, at least up to CS2 anyway. For drawing, I've found either GIMP or MyPaint to be better because they have a friction/weight setting you can use on the brushes, and it makes it WAY smoother. Both are available for any OS, so if you haven't tried them, check'em out!
As for the pic, the only suggestion I'd have so far is to widen out the footpaws and toes a bit more - they still have a very human proportion to them at their current sizing.

Forget the whinyness of GIMP on OS X and all its required stuff. And MyPaint, eh. XD I LOVE FireAlpaca, it's a literal abut 1.2 second launch and YOU'RE OFF, ARTING. :D Aaaaaand.... it opens and saves Photoshop files! =3
And I shall take that suggestion into the painting! I never mind making them FEETFEET bigger. X3

Oh, you use a Mac. Hmm... *checks* It is available for MacOS: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/942685/MyPaint-1.0.0v3.pkg You might like it. I tried out an awful lot of programs in the last couple years and had just about given up until that one came along. XD Even better, it's originally a Linux program (which is what I use) so was nice to be able to just install directly from the repositories and not have to run under WINE like I do Photoshop.
And glad you don't mind spending time on those sexy Kurrafeet. ^_^
