They all love to help! Sophie my late show type was in charge of the dishwasher and would climb in given the chance to pre wash plates or liberate a piece of cutlary she felt was not dishwasher safe and needed to be sucked clean.
Before her, Gemma my cavalier, liked to help decorating and if we were stripping wall paper would pitch in. We found that if a length of paper could be loosened at the bottom you could then give it to Gemma who would set off backwards and put off the whole sheet. Fortunately she never transferred this to new wallpaper!
