Do your pets interfere with housework?

As soon as I even REACH for the broom or any object like that, Molly's GONE and off hiding. I guess someone used to beat her with them.

That's Sierra! She runs and HIDES when the broom or the vacuum comes out.
It never fails that when I'm sweeping the piles of dog hair up in the kitchen, that Buddy walks right through the pile I've just swept up.

Ginger has gotten better as she has gotten older, but she still likes to walk through the little piles of dirt/dog hair that I sweep up. BUT, do you want to see her get really excited? Clean the toilet (sorry if that was TMI). She gets all excited and keeps trying to get her little nose right in the middle of it.

Absolutely - Eve is the best little helper She follows me around to ensure I'm doing a good job - Quality Control Occasionally she finds herself in awkward spots like in the middle of the kitchen sink when I'm cleaning it or gets a paw stuck in the soil when I'm watering plants. Even the vacumn cleaner doesn't faze her - she just growls at it

Her best trick yet is helping with the laundry - she has recently taken to picking socks out of my husbands laundry basket and carrying them downstairs to the laundry room - a strong hint that mommy needs to get busy cuz daddy's socks are getting a little ripe

It's hard to find good help these days - I'm lucky to have her

Sadie and Maggie pretty much stay away, especially if I come near them with the vaccuum. Grant on the other hand tries to chase the vaccuum and grab the attachments off of it. He has to stay outside when I mop the kitchen floor because he keeps walking on it. I just tell the girls to get back and they do.

My only house work is my pets lol.

So its sweeping,grooming,washing,rinsing,filling ect ect ect!

They dont bother me when I have to do other things.

I don't know if this counts, but I have toy boxes for the dogs toys (about 4 of them ) and I put all the toys away when I clean up...however, everytime I do this, Josie thinks it means she has to come right behind me and pull all the toys out again

Mine are usually pretty good. They usually stay away when the vacuum is going or when I'm sweeping. Jake loves to grab and run off with my Swiffer Duster, he'll grab it right out of my hand.
