1. When I get done eating she comes and kisses me to get the flavor of my meal. Conversely, when she is done eating she comes and kisses me to share the flavor of her meal.
2. When we're out in the backyard I'll let her get a ways away and start yelling "Where's my yorkie? Where's my yorkie" while walking over to her, pretending I don't see her. She gets on her stomach like she's hunting, and then charges me as I turn around and run yelling "Oh no, she's gonna get me!"
3. When I lie down on the couch, put my baseball cap over my eyes, stretch and yawn, and say "I think it's time for night-night" and then start snoring she sticks her nose under my cap and gives me a huge barrage of kisses.
4. When she wants to eat she'll ask me to come spin her bowl on the floor. Then when that's done she'll go and try to knock kibbles out the bowl with her paw, and eat them off the ground until she realizes she's too hungry and just eats it out the bowl.
5. Her love for toys of all kinds. Cookie just goes nuts over her various chew toys and balls. They are all over the house so we always have something at arm's length to throw to her when she wants to fetch. Plus she loves to go get her pet monkey to sleep with (see this thread for a pic:

6. Her never-ending energy. This girl runs like the lighting and loves jumping up on things. She loves being outdoors too, which is awesome when the weather is nice like the last couple of days (sunny, 70s). She loves chasing squirrels and birds, and digging in the yard too. Speaking of digging, one of her favorite chew toys were two dried up beats she dug up out of the ground that didn't survive our brutal summer. She would parade around with one of those in her mouth all the time, but of course they couldn't last that long with a teething yorkie chewing on them!
7. Her love for giving kisses. When I jump out the shower she needs to lick all the clean off my face. I have never had a dog who liked giving kisses as much as the Cook. I mean she will kiss me for minutes at a time, and she loves to give kisses to my friends and neighbors too.
8. How she likes to curl in my lap to take a nap sometimes when I'm hanging out on the couch. My girl is a ball of energy and a lap dog at the same time. I feel like I struck the lotto! If she's not in my lap she wants to sleep on my blanket.
9. How she is always interested in what I'm doing. If I'm reading a book in back while she's playing she'll come jump up and right onto my book and ask what I'm reading.
10. Her inquisitiveness. Cookie is just constantly exploring in the yard when we're outside. I don't think she ever tires of snooping around in back.
11. That she is potty trained. What an adventure that was.
12. That she can always bring a huge smile to my face no matter if the day was triumphant or tragic.
