What Anna looks like she's thinking, "I am so sad and lonely and really want your love."
What Anna is really thinking, "I am the boss of all you people and if I don't get my way, I'll bite your ankles."
Teddy is really good at doing the pitiful faces. My solution is to pick him up, hug him, give him a quick belly rub, say some adoring things and then tell him I have work to do. It satisfies him.

Telling him that we are going to have our walk or chew treat later also helps.
