The children are in charge of sweeping after meals, but they are not very thorough, so I always run the vacuum over the kitchen before I mop. Today, I noticed that there were hardly any crumbs or food bits to vacuum up. In fact, I could have skipped the vacuuming altoghether. At lunch, I offered praise to my little sweepers for the good job they’ve been doing.
“Jonny, Meggie, you’ve been doing a really good job on the sweeping. The floor was very clean this morning!”
They looked at each other in surprise. Brenna laughed. “Mommy,” she said, “it’s not them; it’s the dog.”
Oh, yeah. The dog. Well, I’m glad somebody takes his work seriously. Good job, Max!
LOL LOL LOL…….that is funny!!!! That’s why I like an inside dog. He makes some clean ups real easy!!
LOL…that is so great! I love it!
Ah yes, the living vacuum. I can’t say enough about those.
that has to be the best reason for having a dog – cleaning up the floor!
its how they contribute!
Ah yes…I haven’t had a dog since my oldest was a toddler, though we hope to get one soon. I loved how he would suck up all the bits of food out of her high chair for me after I took her out.
We love that about our dog, too!
I don’t know what we’d do without Frank. OK, yeah I do. We’d have to sweep a lot more than we do! LOL Dogs are the greatest.
