Alvin, Simon, and Theodore

I was going to do a group costume for a halloween party this year with two friends, going as the three chipmunks. The two of them bailed last minute, so the whole time I had to explain to people that yes, my costume is just Simon the chipmunk.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the number in the attached circle.
Sudokupad
Solution code: Box 7 (left to right, top to bottom)

As a beginner I found this really good for getting to grips with the GW rule. It took me a few goes and a bit of help but I really enjoyed the logic. Thank you.

I'm sure unintentional, but as I always end up coloring German whisper puzzles for highs, lows, and fives; I was imagining those three colors to be the three chipmunks. Maybe I should seek professional help.
Regardless, fun puzzle. A very satisfying break-in, thank you!

get 2 chipmunk puppets, attach them to the shoulders of your costume, then explain that you had to shrink them for jumping the queue.

We need a red line, blue line, and green line. This puzzle is just Theodore. :-)
