The Moon to His Sun

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.
The 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.
