Now talk about something to study genetically!!! And while I'm here might I add Villette that your yorkies are the cutest and you really keep them groomed just lovely. I have admired them ever since I started lurking here. Lurking, that kind of makes me sound like a stalker or something. Well, you know what I mean. I hope to capture a picture like yours someday. | 
 
  Thank you !! that was so sweet....And I agree...no matter WHAT is going on - seeing that smile just cracks me up....Yorkies are so smart and when they learn what makes us laugh I think they make it a mission to do it as much as they can cause I am blessed to see that silly smile every day with Chanel.... 
and BabyFidgette...Chanel actually did it on her own but I worked with her to know the word SMILE and now she will do it when asked....but she learned by doing the same thing as above - just being so happy when I walk in the door - she smiled one day and I went crazy laughing. 
Another trick is to say the word SMILE...look directly into their eyes & gently lift the corners of the mouth ....they're susposed to learn that way too...but I have yet to teach this to Cheri lol -
