sweep and mop around your dogs?

Mom told me to sweep and mop the kitchen floor when I got out of the shower. Well when I went to sweep I look in the kitchen and the puppies are all in a pile at the very corner of the of the tiles. I had two opitions: 1.) Wake them up and move them and fight for an hour to sweep and mop that one spot (cuz they will not sleep anywhere else) 2.) Just work around them and get that one spot later.

I took the second one. Anyone else have a stubborn dog that you just gotta work around?
