The cuteness factor

We had the electricians in today to install our heavy wiring for our new electric heat and our dog, Tinka, a Pekingese/Shiatsu mix decided to do her Rambo impersonation.  At first she was cute with her charging the baby gate in the kitchen, yapping and generally being all macho.  And then she became a nuisance.  I'm not sure exactly what the tipping point was but there must be some kind of formula to determine where it occurred.   Something like [cuteness] by [ fluffiness] minus [dirty feet] divided by [sharpness of bark] by [% of sleep previous night] = [degree of irritation] / [cuteness factor] or something like that.
