One day, when Blythe was away taking care of some errands, the pets of the Pet Shop Minka, Zoe, Penny, Pepper, Russell, Vinnie, and Sunil were all feeling a little down since they were missing Blythe. Then, suddenly, the doorbell rang... And to the pets surprise, it was CatNap, DogDay, Hoppy Hopscotch, Bobby BearHug, CraftyCorn, PickyPiggy, Bubba BubbaPhant, and KickinChickin! The Smiling Critters! So all day, they laughed and played and had fun! But then... they ran out of ideas for what would be fun. Suddenly, they all saw a big, gray, bus outside of the Pet Shop window... So after some thinking, they went on it thinking it'd take them someplace fun! But.. after some time, they didn't come back... And when they did, they looked really... stern and ready to yell for some reason...?! What was up with that? It was almost like they had personalities like... Drill Sergeants/Drill Instructors!
