I dont know about any of you but house cleaning in this house is an adventure. I tried to lock all (3 of them) up while I clean but that didnt work since I do most of my cleaning late at nite due to the fact that I have OCD and can not sleep unless everything is perfect. But anyway, if I lock the dogs up, preslee cries like some one is killing her, Memphis barks, and Recon barks and growls cause the other 2 are annoying the hell outta him. SO I dont lock them up, instead I clean around them or at least try to.

Making the bed: Kick Recon off the bed, pull all blankets and sheets off, take them to the laundry room in basement, while walking to the basement door try not to pull sheets too hard since Preslee is riding on the blanket trying to kill it. Come back upstairs and greet all 3 dogs like I have been gone for a week, Kick Recon off bed, put bottom sheet on, put top sheet on.........when everything is clean, kick recon off bed and put blankets all back on bed.

Sweeping the floors: Sweep very gently and make sure I dont knock out Preslee who is trying to kill the broom. carry dust pan with me so Memphis doesn't attack the dust bunny pile and spread it back out. Remove Preslee from dustpan before she gets thrown in the garbage with the dust bunnies.

Vacuum: Turn on vacuum and wait for memphis to get on, proceed with vacuuming trying hard not to suck up preslee as she tries to attack memphis who is riding on the vacuum. Listen to recon the whole time barking at the vacuum.

Does anyone else have this much FUN (sense the sarcasm) while cleaning house??
