Way back when, in the language of flowers, Dahlias meant death.

I have a neighbor who grows the most amazing dahlias… BUT, he also, very luckily, has a huge greenhouse where he can house the bulbs in the winter. I’ve learned that is pretty much the only way to keep them good year after year, dig up the bulbs and store them where it’s cold but not freezing. I really love them but man that is a lot of work.
She assists all the time! It’s difficult keeping her off the keyboard. She’s fascinated with it, and loves the the noise it makes when I’m typing. She’s also always switching it over to the Lakota keyboard. And all caps.

Sounds like she has quite the opinion and knows exactly how she wants to express it. :D
Yes, she’s very opinionated, and not shy in expressing herself. Mostly she does this by trying to pee all over my hands, especially when I’m typing. When that doesn’t work, she just goes directly for the keyboard.

She has a very expectant expression.

Also, nice work, Vala! What a good helper. :-)

The tubers are a major food source in much of the world.

“Death is the Queen of the Night”. Or something. Vala should assist more often. :)
