The aphelion of the Sun and Sirius happened 2000 years ago at the beginning of the Age of Pisces, The Sun and Sirius are now slowly speeding up towards each other in orbit until they reach perihelion in 11,000 years bringing the two stars less then 1 light year apart at their closest distance. Considering the speed of our star system traveling 1 light year every 1190 years it is deemed well within reason that the orbit of the Sun and Sirius would take approximately 26,000 to complete....
The sun and Sirius system would have to be moving right along considering Sirius is estimated to be about 8.6 light years from our sun. Now im not great with numbers but i dont think we could close that distance in just 26,000 years...

1 lightyear = ~9.5 trillion km. With proposed binary orbit, if we assume Sun currently close to aphelion and take our current distance from Sirius as ~8.6 lys, then the Sun will travel approx. 12 lys in one complete orbit (depending on eccentricity - but not much different from circumference of circle). 12 * 9.5 trillion km/26,000 years = ~ 140 km/s. This relative motion is completely reasonable. Don't forget the Sun goes ~200 km/s in it's galactic orbit.
@Pickedon you have too consider that both star´s is in motion ! may i ask you what our sun is orbiting if not another star ?? maybe its not sirius but its orbiting something of great mass (mass attracts other masses big mass as our sun attracts our planet in a gravitational pull around it, or our moon around a bigger earth list can go on :) !) i hoped i helped out understanding a little moore of our great universe Peace dude
@OneMale2012, geeleegoat, superstrain007: All of you make sense in the explanations youve provided. I was just having trouble wrapping my brain around the idea of orbits calculated in Light Year distances. I DO believe we are orbiting with 1 or more stars. TY
@Pickedon no worrys dude :) !! you dont need too understand the mathematic calculation as long as you can visualize the outcome and understand the way too the conclusion of the process according too mass,light,space,time (i hope i aint twisting this much further LOL)... in this case a binary system or a system holding 3 stars in orbits is common !! 1 star or star system`s seems too be higly unusual .... Peace dude :)
great video dude very interesting !! upload another video soon dude :) !! Peace

Quick calculation:
1 lightyear = ~9.5 trillion km. With proposed binary orbit, if we assume Sun currently close to aphelion and take our current distance from Sirius as ~8.6 lys, then the Sun will travel approx. 12 lys in one complete orbit (depending on eccentricity - but not much different from circumference of circle). 12 * 9.5 trillion km/26,000 years = ~ 140 km/s.
