AN: AU TIME YAAAY! I got bored with human/angels, so our Big Six are gonna be puppies! I may do another puppychesters chapter in a few days… hint hint… Anywho, sorry about not updating on Saturday AND Sunday, but I did yesterday soo… Please don't hurt me I'm weak. Also, it has come to my attention that Garth, Charlie, and Kevin don't appear until season 7 GASP. They are three of my absolute favorite other characters, and I will find ways of them meeting…
ALSO NOTE I lost a lot of writing time for this because I have something going on every night this week. Bear with me guys.
Disclaimer: If I owned Supernatural, there would either be way more AU episodes or way less. Sadly, Mr. Kripke and the CW decided to shove them all in seasons 3-6...

Bobby was sitting at his desk, doing some lesson planning for a lecture on folk lore he was giving at the local college in a week. His Belgian malinois puppy was laying on his feet, minding his own puppy business (and probably sleeping), when the doorbell rang. The puppy shot up and ran for the door, the little brown fuzzball barking menacingly.
"Oh, hush, Dean," Bobby said gruffly. Dean tilted his head, and stared pointedly at the door, letting out another small yip. There were only two people that would show up at his house this late, and for only one reason.
Sure enough, upon opening the door, two dark haired, college-aged girls stumbled in, one carrying dog with bloody, matted gold fur.
"Kitchen table," Bobby said to the girl with the dog. "Dammit, Meg, what happened?" He asked the other one. Meg took a deep breath.
"He's a stray. We were driving home from the office, and he just wandered into the road, and Ruby didn't see him, so we hit him, and it was faster to get here than home or the office. He was carrying a tag with a name, Gabriel, but no contact information," Meg explained in one breath. Bobby sighed; he had retired from veterinary medicine years ago, but the two women ran an animal hospital in Sioux Falls, about a 45 minutes drive from their home, with Bobby's house on the way.
Dean ran excitedly through the kitchen, barking now and then at the familiar humans. Meg picked him up, and the humans continued working over the new dog. Dean could smell another dog on Meg, and lept out of her arms. The puppy ran out the door to the car, seeing the heads of Sam, a Leonberger puppy, and Cas, a border collie, hanging out the windows. Sam barked at Dean happily and Dean yipped for Bobby to let his friends in.
"You girls should stay the night," Bobby said, standing at the door. "Gabe needs tendin' and it's not safe to drive him to the office now. What do you need, boy?" He asked Dean. Dean placed his paws on the car, and Sam strained against the open window. Ruby, having left Meg to keep an eye on the other dog, Gabe, unlocked the car and opened the door. Sam hopped out and wrestled with Dean for a moment, careful not to hurt the smaller dog, and Cas walked behind.
Meg had crashed on the couch, Bobby having offered to keep an eye on Gabe, and Cas laid down by her feet. Sam played with the energetic puppy for a while before laying down by Ruby's feet. Dean ran at Sam and nudged him, but the larger dog didn't move. When Dean realized his efforts were futile, he dragged himself over to the black and white collie and curled up in Cas' fur. Cas raised a paw and pulled the puppy close, who soon fell asleep, cuddled up next to his best friend.
When Sam was sure that the humans were asleep, she made her way to the kitchen, and began sniffing at the dog's paw. Sam had seen this other dog in the car, and she liked him already. She hopped up on a chair and climbed onto the table, curling up next to Gabe.
SIX MONTHS LATER
Bobby let out a deep sigh, watching Dean run around with the three little brown and gold puppies, the older dog chasing them around the yard. When Meg and Ruby had gotten ready to leave the next morning, leaving Gabe with Bobby who had decided to adopt the stray to keep Dean company, Sam had'nt wanted to leave the golden dog's side. About two months after Bobby (albeit a bit grudgingly) adopted Sam from (a rather reluctant) Ruby, Sam and Gabe had mated, and the three puppies, Adam, Samandriel, and their sister Charlie, were born nine weeks later.
The puppies were nearly two months old and were as, if not more, energetic as Dean had been at that age. Sam had been very protective of her pups, despite Charlie's disregard of her mother and Samandriel's bad habit of wandering away. Meg and Ruby often visited with Cas, who enjoyed playing or cuddling with Dean. Adam, the calmest of the three, had taken a liking to Ruby very quickly. Ruby adopted the gold pup, and he got on really well with Cas.
Even now, Sam was curled up next to Gabriel, Cas nearby, watching their family play.
