hehe - well my dog was always my helper with everything - had to make sure I did it right - now that she's gone, my cat supervises indoor watering. Tho he "helps" by asking to be picked up so he can see whats happening lol
And when he knows I am outside watering he scratches and meows behind the door, so then I end up stopping and bringing him outside for a bit. Such a good helper he is lol

Oh I WISH I had a helper! Maybe by the time my collection is big enough to justify a greenhouse (it's getting there...) I will have some little kiddies on hand that are willing to help; either my own, or some "borrowed" nieces & nephews. Makes me think of the old days when farmers used to have big families in order to have extra hands to help with the harvest. LOL

My guinea pig has appointed himself as helper. He's out and about whenever I'm home (only have a small studio apartment type place) and is impossible to keep away when I'm on the floor repotting. Some of my orchids have little bite sized chunks missing from their leaves!

 Magic!
Since my dog passed away, my only helper is my boyfriend - does he count? My dog would always sit, continually wag his tail and bark at, well, the bark actually (!) while I potted on the kitchen counter. My b/f just has strict instructions not to try and pass me things like phones, cups of tea, laundry etc. while I'm up to my eyes in bark dirt!

Poshkitty helps by rounding up or hiding away any stray pieces of bark or leca that fall to the floor. I've found quite the collection behind the piano.

We don't know, - we call her mostly whippet because she looks almost pure whippet except that she's well built and retrieves, which apparently is unusual for whippets in general. She was a rescue, and we have had her for four years.
Your dog is lovely!
