Daisy wakes us every morning this way: first snuggles near my head, then puts her face on my head, then my face (we call this smothercating). Once my eyes are open she starts the face licking. I start moving to defend myself and she knows I'm awake. She runs away and reappears with the rope in her mouth. I have got to get a picture of this; rope in her mouth lopsided with her mouth near one knot so I have room to grab it, ears up, eyes open, clearly saying "Wanna play rope!?!?!" I grab it of course, and she is a fierce growling shaking killer Yorkie. After a minute of two of this she goes to get her ball with that same expectant face. If I roll over and try to sleep she softly growls at me with the ball in her mouth.

She also lies about needing to go potty to try to redirect me to the closet where the bully sticks are.
Daisy:scratch scratch on the door.
Me: Do you need to go potty?
Daisy: Wags tail looks at door
Me: Get up and walk toward the door
Daisy: walks over to the closet and scratches, licks her chops i.e. "Actually I really need a bully"

For the record I never give her one for this trick, but she is hopeful it will work one day.

I sure love this little dog!
