Thomas was feeling very lonely in his tiny home and all of his friends told him that he should get a pet to keep him company. It took a lot of convincing but Thomas finally agreed to get some kind of pet. He drove to the nearest pet shop and began looking around. He started in the dog section of the shop and looked around. He came across this one dog that caught his eye and bent down so that he could see the dog better. The dog's head, which had been lying on their paws, shot up and looked back at Thomas, tail starting to wag. Thomas looked over to the paper that was taped to the window.

      The paper said that the breed of the dog was a Golden Retriever and that the dog was a male. The paper also gave information about what the personality of the dog was. It said that he was a very excitable dog that loves anyone. Just above all of those facts was the dog's name, Patton.

      Thomas looked back up to see that Patton was standing closer to Thomas, the only thing stopping the large dog from jumping on top of the man was the glass in between the two. Patton put his front paws up on the glass and gave Thomas a happy dog smile. Thomas smiled back and put his hand put to where one of Patton's paws was.

      "You thinking about getting this one?" a voice said from behind Thomas.

      Thomas turned around to see that the women that was behind the desk when he walked in was now standing behind them, smiling at the interaction between the two.

      "Yeah. I think so," Thomas replied, turning back to look at the happy dog.

      "Do you want me to get a room so you can properly meet each other?"

      "Oh, uh, sure!"

      The women lead Thomas to a small room with a glass door and had him sit down on the wooden bench while she went to go get the dog.

      Thomas sat there silently for a few minutes before the door opened again. The golden dog ran towards the man that he recognized from earlier. Thomas bent down and started petting the dog. Thomas got a better look at the dog. He had long golden fur and beautiful brown eyes that shined with excitement. beautiful brown eyes and a long golden coat. Patton hopped up on Thomas' lap and began licking his face, finally being happy to have someone to play with.

      "This is the first time I've seen him this happy in a while," the women said, smiling.   

      "Really?" Thomas asked, trying not to get Patton's kisses in his mouth while also turning to look at her.

      "Yeah. Sadly, no one wants a dog if they're not a puppy even though he's only 2. Nobody's been around to play with Patton in a while."

      "That's awful," Thomas, turning back to the happy dog and petting his head.

      "He looks happy with you. I think you two would be really happy with each other."

      "Yeah, I think so too."

      After a long process of signing adoption papers, Thomas finally got his new friend. He found a collar that he thought would work perfectly with Patton's personality. It was a light blue collar with little white stars on it and Thomas bought it immediately.

      "I would also recommend buying a name tag to put on the collar, just in case he ever gets lost.

      "Oh, right. Of course."

      "There is a machine right over there," she said, pointing to the front left corner of the store.

      "Thank you," Thomas said, starting to walk over to the machine.

      There were many designs that the machine could give but the one that caught Thomas's eye was a blue heart with thick-rimmed glasses. The blue was about the same color of the collar and it seemed to fit Patton's personality perfectly so of course Thomas chose that one. He quickly put in the information needed, like Patton's name and Thomas' phone number and address. The machine quickly got to work engraving the information into the name tag. After a few second, the machine spit out the tag and Thomas picked it up, smiling.

      After purchasing all the necessary things needed for caring for a dog, Thomas attached the tag to the collar and bent down to be eye level with Patton, who was looking through the glass at the other animals.

      "Patton!" Thomas called, trying to get the attention of the dog.

      Patton looked over quickly, and ran over to Thomas smiling his biggest dog smile. Thomas opened the clasp on the collar and placed it around Patton's neck. When Thomas finished putting on the collar, Patton looked very confused before looking back up at Thomas with a look at just screamed 'I love it!' as he began running around Thomas.

      Thomas then stood up and looked back over to the women at the counter. "Alright, we'll be going."

      "Okay! Thank you for coming! Make sure to give him a wonderful life!"

      "Will do!" Thomas the attached the newly bought leash the the collar and led Patton back to his house.

      When he got back he found Joan and Talyn sitting on his couch, waiting for him.

      "Thomas! You're back!" Talyn yelled before gasping, "And who's this precious baby?"

      "This is Patton!"

      Talyn rushed over and bent down to Patton's level. Patton quickly jumped on top of them and began licking their face, being the happy puppy he is.

      "So cute!"

      "I didn't think you would actually get a pet that quickly," Joan said.

      Thomas chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, well, he caught my eye and I couldn't resist."

      "He is adorable though."

      "He is."

      Little did Thomas know that getting that dog would make his life a whole lot harder.

      A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for checking out this story. I thought of this AU, saw that others made their own takes on it, and I fell in love with it so I decided to write my own version and post it so... yeah. I will be making chapters for each of the pets and how Thomas got them but after that I might need suggestions for things that happen to this group of cuddles, so send them in now if you have any ideas! Until then, thanks for reading! 

      P.S.: I think Joan and Talyn might be a little out of character
