Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
An old grandfather clock ticked silently in the corner of an old dusty room.
A gentle snore lightly bounced off of the walls like a small trampoline.
The clock suddenly chimed upon the hands pointing to 6 am, startling the small creature as it shot up out of bed.
"I'M AWAKE!" He shouted instinctually, his heart racing.
A gentle knock on the door caused his ears to perk up, his tail wagging.
"Apollo?" The voice called, it was gentle, masculine, one that you could find trust in.
Apollo gently opened the door, his tail's wagging started speeding up upon being face to face with his master: the great maximillian garcia.
"Good morning apollo" the short, tubby man greeted, his voice making apollo feel happy as an unwavering and unmoving grin formed across the tip of his snout.
"GOOD MORNING SIR!" Apollo practically shouted, zooming around his room happily. he opened the windows, letting a stream of sunlight into the room, revealing a large field and a blue sky.
"YAY! GRASS!!!" Apollo shouted happily, the butterflies in his stomach increased as his tie twisted with happiness.
"Hehe, i know how much you like the outdoors buddy, but you need your breakfast" mr Garcia chuckled, patting apollo's head gently, a gentle smile on his face as he watched the wolf jump up and down happily, it was almost amusing.
"WAFFLES!" Apollo cheered happily, jumping onto mr garcia's shoulders and resting his head on him.
Mr Garcia wandered down into the kitchen, chuckling as apollo's tail, wagging with excitement, slapped against his back.
"Hehe, you excited, buddy?" Garcia asked him as he gently set him down at the dinner table.
"YOU BET SIR! It's been so long since i had waffles!" Apollo jumped with delight.
"Hehe, i know buddy" garcia replied. It had been a while since they could actually spend time with each other, as they were busy with starring in cartoons and animating.
Garcia gently placed the plate of waffles in front of apollo, who quickly wolfed them down.
He rubbed his stomach and wagged his tail, relaxing against the chair.
Mr garcia smiled at this, and walking over to a leash, he clipped it around apollo's neck and whispered "do you want to go walkies?"
Apollo gasped and jumped out of his seat, his tail wagging happily
"YEAH!".
Garcia chuckled and said "well let's go then!"
Apollo laughed and zoomed out of the door,his suspenders flapping about his furry body. It was quite a humorous sight.
Mr garcia smiled and watched him race, he loved watching apollo Play in the fields, it reminded him of when he used to play tag with his father in the fields and forests surrounding his studio.
Apollo laughed and shouted "SIR! SIR! I'm doing it!! I'm really doing it!!"
Garcia chuckled and clapped his hands.
"I know buddy!"
Apollo's tail wagged faster as he raced around the fields, he never felt more alive! He howled happily as he stopped in front of mr garcia.
Garcia picked him up and held him close to his chest as he walked back inside.
"Maybe we'll go to town today" he thought, patting apollo's head affectionately.
Apollo's eyes widened as his tail picked up speed again. HE HAD NEVER BEEN TO TOWN BEFORE!
Apollo's body started vibrating intensely as excitement overtook him, this was his first time outside of the animation studio and by golly he was going to enjoy it!
Garcia smiled warmly as he walked towards the doors with apollo in his arms. He gently opened the doors and apollo could feel his tail beating against garcia's arms it was wagging so hard.
"Now apollo, you must be a good boy and stay quiet for me, you can do that right?" Garcia asked, scratching behind one of apollo's ears as he spoke, his rich, deep voice making apollo feel somewhat relaxed.
Apollo nodded his head and stared at the scenery around him. The market had just opened up and he was rather curious about everything.
Walking over to a stall, he noticed it was covered in different types of confectionary, his eyes widened and he pulled at garcia's waist.
"You want that, buddy?" Garcia asked, pulling out his wallet as apollo nodded his head rapidly.
Apollo jumped with delight as garcia handed him a small lollipop and picked him back up.
"Now remember, we only came here to get food for the week" garcia reminded
