‘I’ll Have Another’ was the first horse in a long time to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Now, the horse has been officially retired from horse racing without the opportunity to race in the Belmont Stakes. That has many disappointed on this Saturday afternoon.

wonder how many people are actually watching the Belmont Stakes now that I'll Have Another is out of the Triple Crown chase…

This Looks Like A Tiny Closet, But Wait Until She Pulls The Handle — It’s So Cool!

Paris, like most major cities, boasts some seriously high rent prices.

People pay as much as 4,000 euros a month for glorified closets, and if they want beautiful views of the Eiffel tower, they could shell out up to 10 million. To combat this real estate nightmare, one woman decided to take matters into her own hands. What she did to optimize space is pure apartment genius.

At first, this space looks anything but livable.

But all it takes is one inventive mind to breathe new life into something the rest of us are quick to cast off.

Using a series of hidden closets and doors, one tenant incorporated every creature comfort she could possibly need into her seemingly tiny apartment.

And that includes a full bathroom that you’d never know was there upon first glance!

For more details, check out the video below.

So who’s ready to move to Paris? I certainly am.

As rent prices continue to skyrocket in metropolitan hubs, people get increasingly clever about making the most of their spaces. If you can’t get enough tiny apartment ingenuity, take a look at this!

3 Dogs And 9 Puppies In The Hot Desert Get The Rescue They So Desperately Needed.

Hope For Paws received a call about a family of dogs struggling to survive in the desert. They were told one of the dogs had given birth beneath a broken down shack, so Eldad Hagar, who runs the organization, asked several volunteers to assist him. What they found was 3 dogs and 9 puppies out there in the hot desert. The conditions they were found in so were intense, it was a miracle they were still alive.

Just goes to show you, with a little bit of teamwork and love 12 precious lives can be saved.

These dogs were living, neglected, in 100+ degree weather.

Their rescue is a must-see.
