Is this your family meeting for Thanksgiving? :)

That's really cute.

But looks at those dogs! Every one looks like it would rather be someplace else....That's a 'why is Mom mad at me look'....;0)

A friend sent this to me. I love it. My five pets are never even in the same room together, let alone would pose like that. I could get the two dogs together because their beds are beside each other. Likewise, two of the cats have matching beds and lay side by side. The fifth one lives in the basement and shows up when she feels like it.

My sister had English spaniels. When ever the family lined up by the fireplace and the camera was out they would back into position and pose perfectly!!! It always amazed me.

I’m really impressed by the fact that they are all looking directly at the camera. It’s close to impossible to get a group of people to cooperate.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around having 17 pets, and a toddler.

Aaahhh Choo!!

:) beautiful animals...but still trying to figure how you can be owned by so many

at one time.

They must all be waiting for treats! HAHA! That's the same face my dog gets when she's begging for treats, we call it her "beggy face".

Oh, this makes me so happy. I would love to know this person. I would love this for myself.

That is amazing!

Where is the 18th? That adorable white shaggy dog that she is holding in the photo when you open the link..............hmmm - maybe that one didn't cooperate.

I'm jealous! ha ha Very cool bunch of fur friends!

I also had a dog that would sit down promptly when I raised the camera. Fond memory of my Lena.

Oh my, corralling cats can be done!

I like the white dog with the cat sitting in his "lap".

They really are a delightful looking menagerie.

I can't even imagine how busy they must keep her, I mean, scooping the kitty litter alone, wow. They look well cared for too.

That's amazing. Are we sure it's not photoshopped in any way? I just don't see how this is possible.

Are we sure it's not photoshopped in any way? - sjerin

(shhhh) It's Christmas time, I want to believe in miracles.

I agree, blfenton. I can imagine doing the dogs, but cats....no way. They don't like to cooperate.

I can't imagine taking care of 17 cats and dogs. That in itself would be a full time job.

About four of those cats are black. I think that I'd need to hang a sign with their names in big letters around each neck to let me know what to call him/her.

ole joyful

Our friend's were out of town. While away their 1 dog Mollie, turned 13 on Friday the 13th. They have 2 other dogs. so my husband & I had a birthday party for her. So we got party hats & plain cheeseburgers for the occasion. Of course we thought they would all cooperate for pictures. Wrong answer! No one would wear their party hat & we could not get all 4 of them(our dog was there)together for a picture. We tried and then just gave up. Feed them the burgers & off we went for a long walk. But we had fun & I think Mollie enjoyed it. Well she enjoyed the cheeseburger.

Really an amazing photo - esp to have the cats participate! We tried a few years when my girls were young. We had 5 dogs and 3 cats at the time. Resulted in some funny photos before I got one that was at least halfway decent.

The article says she also has 4 budgies and a baby hedgehog. House looks really clean, she must spend hours scrubbing every day.

I love the cat sitting snuggled near the dog.

There are 8 dogs in the photo and they say she owns eight. It would be fun to know about the white one not pictured.

Eld - I thought that one was adorable too.

That's impressive!

The worst part was getting the dragonfly and butterfly to cooperate.

Good one cynic - I had to go back and look again.....
