I agree Watto, helpers make it more fun. Gizmo loves to hang out when I'm watering the trees, waiting for his turn.

Hi Keels, when it's Gizmo's turn to water the trees does he lift a leg? :P

He loves it. He's obsessed with the hose.

Nice to see your little helper fitting in well

Here’s how my “helper” likes to spend most of his time... well, either this or awake and judging. I’ll take this for the most part, he only likes a few trees...
PS: I look at your dog Watto, and the title of this thread, and the word that comes to mind is...
SANTA!

Very acrobatic R3.
Only had him for a short while but he gives us something every day so maybe Santa is an appropriate name.
