Tango's very helpful when it comes to some types of cleaning, such as laundry as she can pick things up and put it in the washer for me, and she takes things out of the dry and hands them to me. It's one of her favourite activities! As far as dusting and vacuuming and such goes, they're not any help at all. Morgan chases the vacuum aswell as the broom. She seems to think she's saving me from them. Tango lays in the middle of the floor, wagging her tail and staring at me when I vacuum but when I tell her to move, she does so it's not a big deal. If I'm cleaning up a stain on the floor or something, Morgan 'attacks' the cloth that I'm using to clean it up (she pounces on it). If I'm dusting, again, Morgan wants to play with the cloth. Besides that though, they don't really get in the way.
