By observing Bella, I just discovered a new scientific principle, so I'm plagiarizing the Wikipedia a little bit here for some humor:

Observer effect (Yorkies)

In science, the term observer effect refers to changes that the act of observation will make on a phenomenon being observed. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A commonplace example is checking up on a sleeping Yorkie; this is difficult to do without waking the Yorkie, resulting in excessive face licking. This effect can be observed in many domains of Yorkie behavior...
