If you tell this to people who haven't been around yorkies, they just think you're nuts lol.
You're absolutely correct. Muffin had a bunch of facial expressions that I could immediately recognize what they meant. They were fear or scared, pain, happiness, and pouting.

When she was running around the house and she was happy, her mouth was open and the sides of her mouth were pulled back.

When she was scared, she made a grimace (actually) and pulled her upper lip up just as a person would with a frown.

When she was in pain, she'd make the same expression as she would when she was scared, except she'd pull the sides of her mouth completely back.

When she pouted, she'd lay down on the floor not too far from me and turn her rear end toward me. She'd lay her head down and would completely ignore me.

I left out the grin. Then she'd pull that upper lip all of the way up.
