As the sun peeked in through the curtains and shined onto my face with its warm light I had realized it was morning. I rolled over onto my side, trying to fall back asleep, but instead I was greeted with a slobbery, wet kiss. I opened my eyes to see my big American Eskimo, Apollo. He placed his paw onto my face, which was a sign that he wanted me to get up. I rolled back onto my other side to try and fall back to sleep again, but Apollo wasn’t having it.
