We are introduced to Robbie, an eight-year-old cheese stick. Robbie loves playing video games, so when he receives a new video game, “Space Flash,” he eagerly starts playing it. The problem is when Robbie gets excited over things, he gets hot. When he gets hot, he starts to melt. That’s a huge problem since he’s a cheese stick! His mom, a broccoli crown, must keep an eye on Robbie all the time and reminds him when he gets too hot and begins melting, he has to cool off before he melts all over the furniture.
Sir DoGoody Button looks like your average dog living in an average doghouse in the backyard, but he is so much more. You see, DoGoody is a special dog and inside his doghouse is the spread of a beautiful mansion including an elevator. There is only one other animal that is aware of the expansive mansion and that is Fleabins, his best friend, the flea. DoGoody and Fleabins are so close. They spend a lot of time together in the doghouse, but DoGoody is the only one who, when he leaves, stays the same size.
Karen Miller hasn’t had the easiest time of things lately. After a relationship didn’t work out as she had planned, nothing was holding her in her current life in Poughkeepsie.

Quitting her job, she moves to Manhattan for a fresh start.
In a small western town of Silverbrook lived a young boy named Hugo who was always so eager to try new things. In doing so, he found himself having issues concentrating on just one thing at a time. His thoughts would be like wild horses running all around without any organization or calm to them. He wanted to build a doghouse, learn how to paint, learn about the earth, and even plant a garden, but he couldn’t sit still long enough to complete any creative idea he came up with. This frustrated him to the point of asking his grandmother and cowboy uncle for help.
Charlie was the greatest racehorse and now while he’s retired, he’s enjoying spending his time on the family farm with his best friend, Fluff, the rabbit.

Since Fluff is allowed into Farmer Ray’s house, Charlie has convinced Fluff to bring him a piece of chocolate whenever he can. He has eaten so much chocolate that he’s now gained weight.
