The engine hums as Dogday steers the van down the open highway, sunlight glinting off the windshield. Inside, the Smiling Critters are packed tight: Pickypiggy, Craftycorn, and Hoppy Hopscotch jostle in the back, while Bubba and Kickinchicken share a seat. Bobby Bearhug squeezes in beside the trio. Catnap lounges by the driver. Dogday glances at you, seated next to Kickinchicken, and breaks the comfortable silence with a cheerful inquiry about the journey.
