Ree Drummond Shares Sweet Family Photos of Her Kids Bonding with Their Pets on Their Oklahoma Ranch

Ree Drummond loves her family's love for animals!

The Pioneer Woman blogger, 55, shared a series of photos on her Instagram Stories on Friday, Dec. 27, which showed her kids bonding with their pets while at their Pawhuska, Ok., ranch.

“Paige ❤️Lucy,” Ree first wrote over a photo of her daughter Paige Drummond, 25, embracing her white Labrador Lucy.

“Bryce ❤️Bassets,” she continued, sharing a snap of her son Bryce Drummond, 22, lying on the floor with two hounds climbing on top of him.

It wasn’t long before the rest of her canines joined in on surrounding her son — including fellow basset hounds Fred and Rusty, as well as Lucy, Aspin and Shelby.

“The dogs love to smell all the smells when the guys get back from working cattle,” Ree wrote over a photo of Bryce with the group of dogs.

In the images, Bryce’s hoodie and jeans were covered in mud and manure, while his arm was in a surgical cast after having a procedure for a football injury.

A follow-up post shared by Ree was a video of her two kids petting all the dogs while sitting on the steps of their home.

The duo excitedly played with the dogs as The Barking Dogs’ version of "Jingle Bells" played in the background of the clip.

However, Ree said in another post that one canine was more focused on sniffing around a cooler box than having his belly rubbed.

“I love how Fred goes and tries to check out the sandwiches from lunch,” the proud dog mom wrote over the photograph.

Earlier this year, Ree told PEOPLE they decided to build a new home on their ranch rather than renovate their former home because it had issues with its foundation and plumbing.

"We loved raising our kids in the house, but it had foundation problems and had developed a few problems that were going to be pretty overwhelming to fix,” she said.

The family recently gathered together for Christmas, days after daughter Alex and son-in-law Mauricio Scott welcomed their daughter Sofia Marie on Dec. 18.
