LOL LOL Loved this story!! We have to come up with creative ways to clean the house AND keep supervision over them….in the basement with hubby while I clean the kitchn, in the kitchen with mom while dad cleans the basement, in the kitchen with dad while mom cleans the living room...and the bathrooms I clean with the door closed!! LOL
My sentiments exactly!! KIDS....uh NO WAY...I don't know if I could ever manage
lol lol -
Sounds so familiar!
Ok, picture this! I live with Callie, who has to be right there with you, when you are cleaning, trying to take the dust rag, "helping" you scrub the floor; anyway, I clean houses for a living! One house has two boxers and a cat, one has three Westies and a cat, one has two cats, one has two schnauzers and a cat, one has a shausapoo?, and the grand fanalie has a chocolate lab puppy, who insists on crawling underneath you, while you are scrubbing, and tries to take the rag, as do most of the other dogs in the houses I clean for! Guess which one is the worst? MINE! -
Oh, I know what y'all mean. Magnum's favorite pastime is helping me clean the tub. He loves to watch and bat at the flowing water. He is also extremely interested in anything that might be floating in the water. DoG forbid he see a hair! You'd think it was prey from his reaction! He also feels the need to dry my arms as they get wet.
Sweeping with him around is my "pet" peeve, though. I try to do it while he's napping, but he always comes around just as I'm about to sweep the pile into the dustpan. He just has to sniff and snuffle around in the pile (gotta be something to eat in THAT! LOL!), spread it around a bit, track through it and then track it through the cleaned areas. OOOOH!
I know, I know, I should just restrict him during those periods, but he enjoys them sooo much that it makes me smile and makes the job, albeit longer, a little more fun!

I love this page..I finally feel that i have ppl that know what we are going through…the house is a mess, my shoes are locked away and well I keep saying no no biting so much that i'm doing it in my sleep. But we have to admit, we do love our Champ like crazy.

indeed! my sister's baby and Bindi are the same age, they actually were born on the same day
she always jokes with me that I have a baby now, and I say, maybe but at least I didn't have to care in it my stomach for 9 month and she's already mostly potty trained LOL

It's the same in my house, Sahara will not let me sweep without going through the dust and dirt while I am trying to get it in the dustpan. I just lock her in the den now, it is too much of a fight otherwise. Today it was beautiful here in NC and I cleaned the house, and cleaned somemore. Sahara stayed outside most of the day, coming back in every now and then to see if Mommy was still home. She is so funny, she comes in checks on me and goes right back out her doggie door. The house looks like a wreck sometimes, I have things sitting up high on the tables, fireplace mantel, bedroom furniture b/c Sahara uses her paws to bring stuff to her that she wants to chew. Today I put out a picture of my niece on a table in the living room and within 10 mins she had it and chewed the part on the back that helps it stand up, she didn't chew it all though and I put it back on the table daring her to touch it again. I have nice hardback books that have teeth marks, chewed corners. I would pay anything to find something that she can chew that satisfieds her chewing desire. I give her rawhide under close supervision but she still chews anything plastic or chewable. Today I noticed that she had chewed the end of my pooper picker up, it still works, but I told my hubby to make one out of stainless steel to replace the plastic one, now let her try to chew on that!!!!!!!! haha!!!!!!

This page is too funny!! I have three children ages 21, 19 and 17 but I can remember the days of cleaning and them right behind me messing everything up. So what do I do but go and get a B that just turned 1 in December and guess what! Cleaning day is her favorite. She follows me from room to room and baroooooos the entire time the vacuum is on. And when I am not paying attention she is into everything that she is not supposed to be messing with. Gotta love her!!!

I am starting to think that I need eyes in the back of my head :o
And just think, soon you will have TWO… try getting anything at all done then!!!!!

Hehehe! Trust me, I have all the same pains while cleaning (snuffling the pile I just swept, attacking the evil TP while I'm cleaning the den) BUT for some reason when I clean…
Sophie and Stick get their "crazy faces". You know what I'm talking about, huge round eyes, ears angled back. The play bowing and racing commences and who can clean? All I can do is hold my sides and laugh!

Just went though this with EL D – especially the part about snuffling through the dirt pile I was just getting ready to sweep into the garbage. Then there's the "hey wait, don't throw that away, I still want it" part where he drags something disgusting out of the garbage before I can get it out the door. And vacuuming -- ha -- it's "let's play chicken with this beast" (luckily EL D never goes after the cords) and almost knocking stuff over trying not to get hit.
