So many of you who have been following along, these past two years especially, are familiar with possibly the best puppy in the whole world.  For our new friends and casual readers, here’s a wee overview of the boy himself and for our longtime friends I hope you enjoy the recap.

Two years ago today a little Shih Tzu and random mixture puppy came into the world.

He was still so tiny when I met him at six weeks old

And took him home – even though I was at first reluctant to take on this little ball of energy …..

Orlando and I did not know what had hit us!

But I quickly discovered I had been found by my own personal happiness guru

He was named Sid-Arthur, for Siddhartha the Prince who became the Buddha.  I had no idea at the time how fortuitous that was.

Orlando meanwhile had retired to the top of the refrigerator and other high places and there he spent most of the ensuing year

But even he eventually caved – how could he resist?

Who knew one little black and white ball of happiness could change my life so completely?

Happy Birthday Siddy – 2 years old today  

He made a gif with his second favourite person for your amusement

And today he will celebrate being a big boy by visiting the older students at the Sara Cohen School for Special Needs who have just completed a module on how to interact with dogs.

Soon he will be visiting a local Retirement Home to spread even more of his particular brand of joy.  Life is going to get busy for Siddy the Happiness Guru!

Thanks for coming by today, we love that you did!
