A cute black pup with white patches on his tummy, Holiday will hopefully find a home. Sheltered Episode “Holiday” Holiday: When the water hits you its so cold and you just all of a sudden tense up. Eventually I am going to get used to it. But right now it is a learning process. My name is Holiday; I am about two months old. It is all kind of a big blur. I was with a bunch of my other brothers and sisters and then one day it was just me and my other brother. Yeah, he is two minutes younger than me. Yeah, the minute he got out he kind of looked at me like and like who are you? And I was like, well I am the boss. From then on it has been a constant, constant little power struggle. It never starts as a fight, its always just playing and you know were having a good time and then all of a sudden you know, somebody crosses the line. You know we can get a little intense, in the heat of the moment. Yeah that can happen, we are brothers, its family, you know. My mom was one of the sweetest, most caring individuals I have ever met in my life. I think one thing I will want to make sure that never happens is that I don’t forget her. I don’t want to forget what she looks like. I don’t want to ever forget what she sounds like, or the things that she told me. She did a great job of getting us prepared for our next phase in life. Which is right now at the shelter and then you know, hopefully with a family. Shelters can be kind of scary. Its ok, it’s not the best. It is not the ideal situation but it is the life of a dog. It is something I am still getting used to, because I haven’t gone through this much. When these people walk by, I see people walking by all day and they take care of us. I am thinking wow; there is a lot more people here to take care of us. But that was kind of, that’s when I started learning this is what’s happening. This is what’s going on. They are coming here to pick one of us to go with them and start a new family. Each person is different and you have to gauge them that way. When I see a little kid, I will go up to them and I will sniff there hand, I will try to lick on them and I will look up at them, and you know I just try to communicate to them that I will love you to the day that I die. And I will the best friend that you could possibly ever have. You know my little brother tries to climb all over me and tries to push me to the background. But you know the cream always rises to the top. I don’t think any dog ever looks for a short term relationship. I need someone to take care of me. What I want from a family is for them to love me, for them to support me, to accept me even with my mistakes. I am not going to keep making them again, and again. But I am going to make mistakes. After all I am not perfect. But I would like to really be with a family that understands my nature, understands that as young as I am, I have a lot of energy. I need people who are going to pay attention to me. I don’t want to be constantly left alone. And you know, just to give me a lot of support and a lot of love. Because that’s what I think everybody looks for in a family. I think that’s what a family id there for, to love you unconditionally and to support you unconditionally. You know, there's good days there's bad days, you know. But in those times I will just kind of daydream. I will think about my mom, I will think about how my brothers and sisters are. Make up these stories about what their doing right now. Or what adventures they are getting into. I think it would be great if my brother and I could actually go to the same home. I think it would be great to grow up with them. Because that’s a luxury a lot of us dogs don’t get. As much as a tease about my younger brother I love him very much. He is my brother, he is my family. And as much as he may goad me and as much as he may play up on me. The point is he is still looking towards me for guidance. That is the hardest part about being in a shelter, is when I am not by my brother, is being in a cage by myself. And it’s not bad, it’s just hard, you know, hey I am sitting around, looking around, TV would be nice.
