The pet shop owner said, as he cuddled into my arms – “He looks just like a little Buddha!”
Well, that was his name taken care of then! He came home the next day.
We went for a walk before coming inside – he ran like crazy for the first quarter of the block, walked the next quarter, was carried the third quarter and managed the last quarter at a slow pace.
He had a little something to eat, then settled down for a nap. Orlando was not amused. While I was trying to post some photos on face book this happened:
We did five minutes leash training this morning, adding in ‘sit’ and ‘come’ to his name [which seems to be Siddy!]. Then I got this:
I may not have slept, my cat may not be talking to me, but isn’t this the cutest little bundle of fluff you ever saw?
Thanks for coming by today, I love that you did!
The Contented Crafter 
All too fantastic for words. You are living in a magical princess castle I think. Perpetually fair weather, gorgeous kitty cat and the cutest puppy ever. I laughed because it looks like Siddy came from the crate to say hello to Orlando but he b-lined otta there and Sid is left saying, “where you going in such a hurray O?”
They are both so gorgeous! Is it possible only beautiful creatures live in New Zealand ? Happiness lives here. xo

Congratulations to you on your new baby. The children will one day learn to play together nicely. What a beautiful baby and his older brother is no slouch either. Siddy reminded me immediately of
http://tobreatheistowrite.com/2014/04/26/napowrimo-poem-day-26-sam/. Jackie’s dog is the endless fodder for her stories and cartoons. She also has a cat and they co-exist. I would love to have another of my own but alas, the timing is just not right. They are so energetic until about 4 or 5 years of age. Then you have trouble getting them to move. Just like an old man. So enjoy the baby and toddler years. He is just too adorable. You will never run out of posting material again. 🙂

We are making good progress Marlene – I am feeling quite relieved and satisfied this evening. Most of the forward movement is instigated by the puppy who simply is incredulous at the thought that something might not adore him. He runs around like a maniac and then expires in a happy bundle for an hour before taking odd again. He has potty trained himself in two days, kissed the cat and pleased me greatly by showing he has learned to sit on command but mistook ‘Sid’ for ‘sit’ which had us all in guffaws! So we can’t call him Sid – he must forever stay Siddy!

Thank you for the strength and patience – it was sorely needed! I was so not going to get a puppy! I was looking for an older girl who needed re-homing or rescuing – I was foolish to enter the pet shop – and lost the moment I did!
The whimpering starts the moment he is ‘alone’ and continues with brief intervals until morning. [Alone is in his carrier right beside the bed where I can touch the door and he can hear my voice easily] No amount of vocal reassurance, makes a blind bit of difference – if anything it stirs him on! I did one night with no sleep, I got to 4 am this morning with no sleep and caved. I took him into my bed and we both slept for three hours! So much for starting as you mean to go on. He is otherwise a perfectly good and clever little pup – and so completely gorgeous and happy and terribly keen about everything. I have decided to chill out and let him say what is needed – he is after all a little baby and just needs his new mum! Lesson learned 🙂

Granny talked to us every day, especially to Angel, who was very jealous, but it worked and we became a kind of distance furriends. Granny told Angel the whole time that it was his house and it would be forever. Guess who was jealous then 😉 I cross my paws and send extra good Pawkiss vibes your way 🙂

Au contraire Ms P Early thinks that HE is a puppy still. He adores little fluffy dogs and gets down on his belly to play.

He might have it in for Mr Orlando King but Siddy would be his offsider and he would teach him EVERYTHING that he knows i.e. “how to prune off expensive grafted potted specimens UNDER the graft…how to jump on the kitchen table and sniff around to get immediate attention…how to do those ENORMOUS puppy dog eyes that Puss-in-boots affected in Shrek (although I have my sneaking suspicions that Mr Sid could possibly teach Earl a thing or two in that regard 😉 )” and lots of other things including crochet/wool 101, how to ingest ANY craft item in your immediate vicinity and how to whimper pathetically at the back door when you haven’t had a walk in the last 10 minutes…Earl is crestfallen that you wouldn’t trust him with Siddy but he is used to it now…”toughen up bucko!”

You got it exactly right! We met a rather large mastiff on the street this evening as we ambled around the block – Sid was up for it joyfully …. he took off at a miniature gallop. Luckily for him the mastiffs owners recognised an untrained pup when they see one flying down the street towards them yelping “Helllllooooo!” and they quickly heeled their dog in and crossed to the other side. Sid sat down abruptly with a look that can only be described as astonished on his little face as he watched them going by without once stopping to admire him – then he slowly looked up at me in silent bewilderment……….I couldn’t help him, I was just as bewildered!
He gets that same look on his face when he is doing the ducking and dashing moves of ‘lets play’ to Sir O and is rebuffed with either the cold shoulder – or with a growl and a hiss as happened just moments ago as obviously his little kingship has had a skinful of cute little puppy dogs coming in like they live here and own the place!!

I used to have a pure bred Shih Tzu who was unbelievably stubborn but Sid doesn’t look stubborn at all. I hope you enjoy every tiny happy beautiful moment while he’s little! The best thing I did was install a cat flap at floor level for Monty the day we got him. He toilet-trained himself in one day. Our back garden is fully dogproof (ie well fenced) so we leave the cat flap permanently open for him. We’ve never had ‘accidents’ as a result. I think they naturally want to be clean in terms of toileting as long as they have the opportunity. : )))

When I read up on all the dogs that are in Sid I heard again and again that Shih Tzu’s [thank you for the correct spelling!] are stubborn and can be very difficult to toilet train – he had a couple of accidents the first day, mainly because I didn’t realise he would need to go quite so often – but as soon as he got himself in the right place and received lots of praise for it hasn’t missed a beat since.
I am getting a cat door put in on Monday 🙂 Orlando has never needed one before but now I think he needs to be able to exit stage right whenever this all gets too much for him…… as well as for Sid being able to get into the courtyard as required.
I guess we can call little Sid what ever we like and Mitsu Apso sounds pretty good to me – let’s do it!! 🙂
On the super friendly bit I agree – we have a stream of people popping in to say hello and he can’t show them enough geniality. Toys are tossed and chased and shook for their delight and amazement and then the people are cuddled into and gazed at. On his mini walks on the street all kinds of folk have to stop and speak to him, mainly because he has run up to them and planted himself in front of them and he encourages all the oohs and ahs and petting he can get.
