There has only been 7 smiling critters in the neighborhood:
DogDay the self imposed leader.
Bubba Bubbaphant the genius.
Kicken Chicken the Daredevil.
Hoppy Hopscotch the second Daredevil.
CraftyCorn the artist.
PickyPiggy the chef.
Bobby Bearhug the therapist.
There has always been 3 boys and 4 girls. They always easily outvote the boys whenever they want to do something different.
One day a construction crew appears in the neighborhood and builds a new house that resembles a scratching post for a cat. Then a moving truck comes and puts boxes in the home.
It's been 3 weeks and no sign of the new addition to the neighborhood. Everyone is getting impatient especially DogDay. He has a habit of greeting everyone first and he'll be damned if he doesn't get the first hello to the mysterious new neighbor.

So with the two new scents of Lavender and Valerian. Will they all get along? ''They should not have any memory of the procedure, but everything before that is still intact'' ''But we must forge onwards in the name of science'' ''Weather those who are beneath us understand it or not, END OF-'' I don't own any characters mentioned in this story except for my own oc just to make that clear.

Heal and Trust
Dogday had once been a captive in the cruel world of dogfighting, sold to callous individuals who thrived on violence. Despite his strong build and fierce exterior, he longed for a life free from the horrors of the pit. His fate took a dramatic turn when a whimsical purple cat named Catnap appeared on the scene, accompanied by determined police officers and a team of SWAT members. Together, they launched a daring operation to dismantle the fighting rings and liberate the dogs, rescuing Dogday and many others from their bleak existence. Catnap, with his vibrant fur and playful demeanor, brought Dogday to a cozy home filled with warmth and companionship, sharing the space with his caring girlfriend and an eclectic group of furry friends. Yet, despite his newfound safety, Dogday remained cautious and skeptical. Trust did not come easily for him after the traumas he had experienced. Everything changed when he met Craftycorn, a kind-hearted female unicorn struggling with a grave illness caused by kidney failure. With her shimmering coat and gentle spirit, Craftycorn resonated with a familiarity that stirred something deep within Dogday. As they bonded over their trials, he felt the walls around his heart begin to crack. Would this brave unicorn, facing her own battles, be the key to helping Dogday reclaim the joy he had lost? As Dogday worried about Craftycorn's fate, he found himself torn between despair and hope. Would she receive the new kidneys she desperately needed to embrace life once more, or would he have to face the possibility of losing yet another friend? In the depths of his uncertainty, Dogday began to understand that perhaps trust could be built through shared struggles, giving him the courage to open up and heal alongside Craftycorn.
