We took Holly to Will Rogers Airport today to see her friends, and honestly, she acted like she owned the place before we even got there. She knows exactly where to go — like she’s memorized a secret airport blueprint. The second we parked, she hopped out with full “excuse me, I have official airport business” energy. If she had a briefcase, she would’ve carried it… and probably expected someone to open doors for her while she trotted in like the CEO of Terminal Happiness.
A Little Paw-Mail from Holly!
I went to Will Rogers Airport tonight, and of course I strutted in like I was reporting for my shift. First stop? The information desk. I “helped” passengers figure out where their flights were… which really means I stared at them until they forgot they were stressed. I don’t actually know where anything is — I’m a dog, not an air‑traffic controller — but if I give people my big eyes and a tail wag, they suddenly feel better. Honestly, that’s basically the same thing as giving directions.
But let’s be clear: I do not do it as well as the real information lady. She actually knows things. She’s amazing at her job and helps people find their way without relying on dramatic staring or tail‑based emotional support.
Some people even follow me like I’m leading them to their gate. Little do they know… I have absolutely no idea where I’m going. I’m just walking with confidence. And apparently that’s enough for humans to trust me with their travel plans.
Then I trotted down to see my TSA friend Aaron. He keeps all the passengers moving through the checkpoint, and I “assist” by wagging my tail at everyone like I’m conducting emotional security screenings. I’m pretty sure my tail alone has cleared at least three stressed travelers. Honestly, at this point TSA should give me my own lane. I’d just stand there wagging, and people would walk through feeling 40% happier and 100% less confused. I take my job very seriously… even though no one actually hired me.
After that, I trotted over to see my buddies at the CLEAR entrance. They’re collecting all the pet‑therapy trading cards, and I know they like mine the best. They don’t say it out loud… but I can tell. Their eyes get all sparkly when they see me, and they flip through their cards like they’re checking for a rare holographic edition.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure they’re trying to complete the “Holly Collection.” At this rate, I might need to start signing them like I’m some kind of airport celebrity — which, let’s be honest, I basically am. I’m basically a limited‑edition airport Pokémon.
Next, I stopped by the Military Welcome Center to see my guys in blue. Not many recruits tonight, but I still strutted in like I was doing roll call. I gave them my “inspection face,” which is just me looking very serious for three seconds before wagging my tail. They love it.
I hear the big groups come in later at night, but listen… I’m not staying up that late. I’m a celebrity dog. I require beauty rest, moisturized paws, and at least eight hours of uninterrupted snoring. The recruits will just have to meet me during normal business hours like everyone else.
Every Wednesday I visit my biggest fan, Vega, and tonight my human gave her my newest trading card. She lit up like she’d just won the lottery, found a golden ticket, and discovered a puppy all at once. Then she gave me one of her famous hugs — the kind that makes me feel like I’m being squeezed by pure happiness. Honestly, if hugs were a sport, Vega would be undefeated.
Then I made my way to the Delta gates, where my humans handed out my cards and stickers while I greeted everyone like the unofficial Delta ambassador. After that, I trotted all the way down the other end of the concourse — because a celebrity dog must make her rounds.
I met two young boys from Morocco who were scared of big dogs… until my magic stickers activated their superpowers. One sticker and BOOM — fear gone. Suddenly they were petting my head, telling me I was pretty, and acting like we’d been best friends for years. Stickers fix everything. Honestly, I don’t know why TSA doesn’t use them.
I met a little boy and girl who put their stickers on their iPads so they’ll always remember “the dog in Oklahoma.” I mean… that’s me! I felt like I was signing autographs for tiny superfans. They stuck those stickers on with the same seriousness people use when applying passport stamps. Honestly, I should start charging for appearances — I’m practically a celebrity influencer at this point.
At the American gates, I found my friend Gina. I had to confess that I lost my AA wings somewhere on the walk down — too many pets, too much excitement, and absolutely zero respect for personal space. My wings probably flew off during a tail‑wagging incident. Gina didn’t even blink. She just handed my human replacements because she knows I’m very proud of my wings and also very irresponsible with them.
One of these days, I need my human to actually book me a flight. I’m thinking first class. Obviously. I mean, I practically work here. I greet passengers, boost morale, and provide emotional support. The least they could do is give me a big seat and a tiny bag of pretzels.
And then — the best part — my friend Vega walked all the way down the concourse just to bring me a pup cup. That’s basically a marathon in airport distance. I’m pretty sure she did it because she wanted another hug… the pup cup was just her excuse. Obviously, I gave her one — I’m very generous with my hugs. Pup cups and hugs are my specialty. Honestly, if the airport had a loyalty program for dogs, I’d be Platinum Elite by now.
On the way out, I stopped to see Kelsey, who is usually my last visit of the night. I gave her my best tail wag — the fancy one I save for VIPs — and then headed back to the truck, completely exhausted from another successful shift as the unofficial mayor of Will Rogers Airport. It’s hard work being this adorable. I greet passengers, boost morale, hand out emotional support with my face… honestly, they should give me a tiny office. Or at least a nameplate.
I love my airport people. And they love me right back.
