Written for the spring fic exchange at spn_bigpretzel!

Thanks so much! This was *really* fun to work on - originally I was going to have Johnny turn everyone but Dean into an animal, but...poor Sam. I decided to confine the whammy just to him. I just loved the idea of this giant, gangly animal trying to keep its (his) balance in the boat!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)

You just know it would be true. This fic made me smile :)

Very cute. And the idea of giraffe!Sam carefuly balancing in the boat, big eyes staring down at Dean and John... hilarious
At least with being a giraffe it wasn't a big change for Sam (being ginormous by nature)

That's what I figured - and giraffes are actually larger and heavier than I had originally thought. Once I got that image in my head, the story almost wrote itself! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
