Every walk starts with a tough decision — at least if you’re Holly. The Staffy, who is a queen of indecision from @hollythebluestaffy, doesn’t just grab any old stick before heading out; she takes her time like she’s shopping for a designer handbag. In the video, Holly heads straight to her “stick library,” wearing a dog hoodie and clearly on a very important mission. One by one, she samples each potential contender — a short one, a long one, one that’s maybe too bendy — giving each the kind of attention most of us reserve for choosing a new car. Her human’s caption, “Take your time, Holly…” for the post just seals the comedy of it all.

The video, now racking up over 140,000 likes, is peak wholesome entertainment. It opens with the on-screen text, “Sometimes deciding which stick from her stick library to take on her walk is nice and quick… and sometimes it’s like this.” You already know you’re in for something delightfully engaging and adorable.
Holly starts her inspection like a seasoned connoisseur — sniff, test, reject. Then she picks up one that seems promising but rethinks her choice after taking a few steps. She goes through four to five sticks, judging them on length, weight, and other factors. Her human can’t help laughing as Holly goes back to the pile, clearly wrestling with the weighty question of which stick best matches today’s walk vibe. “Can we go?” her human finally asks, voice full of amused resignation.
Eventually, after much debate, Holly settles on the stick — the chosen one. Her human thanks her for finally making up her mind, and off they go. The comments section loved every second of it, with one viewer joking, “This is her Sephora, let her browse,” and another adding, “The oak is for Tuesdays and the maple goes only with my purple harness.” Emotional support sticks, it turns out, demand cautious selection.
