When you love animals you have a tendency to want them all. All of them. Literally every single pet. Give them to me now. Yeah, that's definitely the mentality. We can't help it, pets bring us an unparalleled joy and companionship that our same-species counterparts cannot even come close to. They're loyal to a fault,caring beyond measure, and an endless source of humor and delight.

When I was a child, my parents rescued dogs. We couldn't turn away a pup that needed a home and we had the space, yard, and helping hands with six humans around to walk, cuddle, and make sure the dogs got everything they needed. At one time we had 8 medium-large dogs. We have no regrets. My parents, to this day, still struggle to turn away dogs. Right now they have four very small dogs even though it's just them and one teenager at home.

Behind the scenes, though, sometimes all that love and all those cuddle puddles is a lot more complicated. Today, by the grace of the Internet, people are sharing photos that give sneak peeks into the life of homes with lots of pets. You'll either find yourself driving to the shelter to adopt a few more by the time you're done, or maybe find yourself settled into the "one and done" family setting. I'm betting you're going to want more pets after today though...

"My parents have 3 dogs... and a cat."

You have to look closely for the cat but when you find him, you'll audibly chuckle.

Modern problems call for modern solutions.

When you and your girlfriend have 5 cats and 2 dogs and they all love to sleep with you at night, you simply cannot stop with one bed. This couple custom built a bed... it's 11 feet long! Now, there's room for the whole family.

There are too many animals to name here.

Shoutout to Steve though, who along side Bikini the Pig and Stuart the Rabbit, he lives with a bunch of senior dog rescues... oh, and other animals. It's pet paradise.

"Wife wanted 5 minutes alone... this was outside her door."

You could hashtag this #momlife. It is accurate as heck.

"My girlfriend trained her pets to never enter the bedroom. This is them every morning."

First of all, that's impressive. Second of all, those sweet babies want in so bad.

"My dogs are dropping their first album."

It's going to be fire.

"My mom just had double knee surgery. Her pets have made it their responsibility to comfort her."

This is truly a shining example of how much your pets love you. When you're hurt, they will always be there.

Maximum relaxation. With cats.

This is what happens when you say "no cats." You end up in a cat-cuddle-conundrum. It's purr-fect.

United as one.

There are 5 very different dogs here... but "they are a true pack."

"This was their faces after I walked in the room and yelled, 'OK, who did it?'"

When you have 3 or more pets, there is almost never a culprit.

Realistic as heck.

You think the begging is bad with one? Imagine 3.

Your pets know you so very well. This is a testament of love.

"My mom has brain cancer. Somehow, I think our pets know when she's having a bad day."

"It is very possible that my SO is in the bathroom and the pets have not been fed yet."

I hope that toilet time was worth it.

Unique Family Dynamics.

Now this is an unusual family pack.

Evaluating One's Situation

Look to the left, look to the right, silently scream for help.

The family that swims together, is happy together.

"Yes, I built a raft out of pool noodles for my dogs. Stop laughing at me like my wife did. When I go for a swim, they jump up and down at the side of the pool to get on the raft."

"My aunt and uncle have 20+ husky dogs and have this problem every single night."

...excuse me, they have 20 perfect fluffy dogs?? WHAT?

"I was worried my dogs wouldn't like the new cat. I was wrong."

One more for the cuddle puddle!

When your cats notice the Halloween decorations...

Destruction is only a matter of time.

Oops

A month after they found a single cat... this happened.

"This is what happens when you sleep through breakfast time."

The most impressive thing here is that not a single cat is screaming in her face.

This Very Good Boi

His name is Bob and he lives with 8 birds... and a hamster.

Sometimes you cannot stop at 3.

Announcing a dog to your 3 cats, however, is not always going to garner the enthusiasm you hoped for.

Cornered.

This doggo is doing a concern.

"Adopting a dog soon, so we have [the] neighbor bring his dog over so our cats get used to them. Tonight, this happened."

A social experiment went hilarious.

Cuddle puddle.

You know you've done something right when they all cuddle like this.

"My blind cat, chilling out like one of the dogs."

Special. Sweet. Ahh, we love this.

Cuddle Puddle

"My husband managed to capture these sweet (and rare) photos of all three of our pets together. I was alone when I fell asleep, but I guess they wanted to join in on the fun."

Who could blame them? Community nap time is the best.

Have you ever wondered what life with 12 cats would look like?

Wonder no longer. The 12 Cats Lady has photos to illuminate your imagination.

If you don't look close enough you might miss it.

One of these things is not like the other, but still belongs.

When the tummies are full and the weather shifts...

"Thy have had breakfast and it's a little cooler here now... s the front window is the spot! Soaking up the rays."
