Anyone else's dog "help" them clean?

My black lab is such a trip. Every time I clean the house, she likes to "help" me by following me from room to room bringing me a very specific toy to play with. Vacuuming is especially fun - she barks at the vacuum the second I bring it out, then she follows me from room to room with her toy, lays down right in the middle of the floor that I am trying to vacuum then looks at me with disdain when I tell her to move. My yellow lab just looks at me then goes to lay in front of the storm door or in her bed, but my black lab is my velcro dog and MUST be with me at all times - it makes cleaning an interesting task. I don't mind though - she is all smiles and I can't help but smile when she looks at me with her toy sticking out of her mouth and her tail wagging away.

My dog makes a run for the back door as soon as the vacuum appears. She hates that thing.

I would like to PIP, but I have never figured out how- can anyone help?

After I finished cleaning, my black lab helped me take a shower - she stands outside the tub with her head in the shower pushing aside the curtain, looking at me like "whatcha doing mom? can I come play in the water?"

My dog does the opposite of clean. He's half lab half border collie. So he always has to have a stuffed animal, and he needs an entire herd of them.

He will systematically strew them around a just-cleaned room so he can keep an eye on them all.

My dog is afraid of the vacuum, but she follows me around anyway, I think to watch and make sure it's not killing me.

Mine follows me everywhere. She has a moose antler that she has been gnawing on forever and she will carry that with her.

She "helps" when either DH or I will fall and hurt our knee or elbow or something. She gets up in our face to see if we're ok. It doesn't help when we're trying to swear up a storm.
