Three cute babies, four adopted dogs, and two adopted cats. The life of this family of 11 is very chaotic, but warm and harmonious...
When you have a baby at home, can you still keep cats and dogs? This has always been a controversial topic.
However, there is a big family in Canada, with three children, four dogs, and two cats living in the same room.

What is admirable is not only the life of cats and dogs, but also that these 6 pets were adopted and rescued. After learning about this background, I couldn't help but sigh, this family of 11 is really a big loving family.
Mr. and Mrs. Spence are from Winnipeg, Canada. They have loved small animals since they were children. After having their own home, they also wanted to keep pets like ordinary people.
But unlike those who spend a lot of money to buy pure-blooded cats and dogs, this couple locks their care in the rescue center, where they adopt cats and dogs.
However, having and raising children and raising
pets did not become a choice for this couple. They chose to let these once-hurt cats and dogs protect their children as they grew up.
So, while the couple used love to heal the wounds of these abandoned furry children, they also used love to raise their own children. Not long after adopting the animals, the Spences gave birth to their eldest son, Wellington.
Three years later, they gave birth to their eldest daughter, Loretta.
What is commendable is that during this period, the couple did not stop adopting animals.
Although cats and dogs are all adopted “hybrids”, they are equally cherished and loved.
Mom Elizabeth said: "We educate our children from an early age to respect and treat these little animals, because they are precious lives like us."
"The children have grown up with cats and dogs since they were young. They get along very harmoniously with each other and always have a very loving picture."
Previously, the eldest son Wellington and daughter Loretta had a very harmonious relationship with these adopted animals.

But what surprised the couple was that the birth of the younger son also healed the mind of a later member of the family - the dog Nora, who had been abused before.
In 2016, after the couple's youngest son Archie was born, mother Elizabeth and father Michael discovered a very strange phenomenon. The newest member of the family, Nora, was very special to the baby and actively guarded the boy.
Mom Elizabeth described: "Every time I put Archie to sleep, the dog Nora would always guard the bed. At first I would carry him back to his crib, but then I saw that he was sleeping soundly, so I let him lie on our big bed."
To Elizabeth's surprise, the dog Nora who was guarding him would always sneak into the bed and lie next to the little baby.
"I used to think this was just an accidental phenomenon, but later I discovered that this is the norm almost every day when children snore. What makes me feel special is that the dog Nora will hug the sleeping Archie. This picture really looks very loving."
The dog Nora was a previously abused dog. When the rescuers saw it, they found that the chain had left deep scars on the poor dog's neck.
After following the loving couple home, Nora struggled to adapt to her new life.
In the words of his mother Elizabeth, "You can see that he is very careful in everything he does, and he always looks worried. We know that this is the psychological trauma caused by the poor environment before. He is afraid of all of us, but he only likes to be close to Archie."
But since the little master Archie came to this home, the dog Nora took the initiative to choose to be with him.
Gradually, it lowered its psychological defense.
My mother said: "He and Archie are always stuck together. I think maybe the pressure from children is less. Although Nora gets along well with my eldest son and daughter, she loves Archie more."
Normally, when Archie drinks milk, the dog Nora will follow him. She watches him drink every drop of milk carefully, as if she is a very caring nanny.
Even when Archie goes to take a bath, Nora will follow him. When he stands in the bathtub, she lies on the mat waiting for him.
In addition to loving interactions, the two little ones will also be naughty and mischievous together.
When the little Archie got into the cupboard to "hunt for treasure", the dog Nora not only stood guard for him, but also "cheered and cheered" for him.
"Sometimes, I see these two little dogs making a mess in the kitchen, and I can't bear to criticize them. The way they commit crimes as a group makes me laugh."
When mother Elizabeth posted a photo of her youngest son and dog Nora on the Internet, she unexpectedly gained countless followers.
“I like to record my life with photos on Instagram. When I took photos of my first two children, everything was quiet. But when I posted the photo of Archie and Nora sleeping in each other’s arms on the Internet, it suddenly went viral.. "
"At first, I only had less than 10,000 followers, but since I started posting photos of Archie and Nora having sex, my number of followers has skyrocketed instantly. Now in three years, I have more than 130,000 fans. "
Many netizens lamented how there was such love and warmth between these two little dogs. Then they learned that it turned out that there was a warm and harmonious picture among the 11 members of this big family.
Not only did the family have three cute babies and four dogs, but also two The relationship between cats is very harmonious, and there are not as many problems as usual between cats and dogs, who are natural enemies.
"Maybe it's because they both have unhappy pasts, so they never fight and they always live in harmony. "
Whether it is family members or pets, it is a beautiful picture of a family.

Many netizens lamented the fraternity of the Spence couple.
Raising three children is already a very troublesome matter. Not to mention having to take care of 6 adopted animals.
In this regard, mother Elizabeth said: "To be honest, my house is indeed full of messes. There are always scenes of children, cats and dogs playing together and making a mess, or scenes of them sleeping together, but compared to this chaos, we receive more love and warmth." "
"I am very happy that many netizens also love animals. Many of them thank us for saving these little animals that have been harmed. "
" And some netizens feel that as long as they come to see the lively scenes of our family every day, their hearts will be filled with sunshine and love, which also makes us feel very happy. If possible, we will adopt more cats and dogs. "
