Life has been heavy lately, so this was something I never expected.

On May 24th, I posted a video of Biscotti playing in his ball pit. It was just a cute puppy video, and honestly, I didn’t think much of it when I hit post. A couple days later, I realized something crazy was happening.

The video started taking off.

What began as a simple video has now reached over 3.7 million views, and along the way my Instagram account has grown tremendously. Even more surprising, two other videos of Biscotti have also crossed the 1 million view mark.

It’s been such a strange and fun experience watching a little apricot toy poodle capture the attention of so many people. Every day there are new comments, messages, and people sharing how much Biscotti makes them smile.

For someone who has spent so much of the last two years navigating grief and rebuilding life after loss, it’s been nice to have something unexpectedly joyful happen.

I don’t know where this little social media adventure will go, but for now I’m just enjoying the ride and cheering on Biscotti as he continues to charm the internet one video at a time.
