Nowadays, it seems much more difficult to attain happily ever after, and we witness divorces of people around us all the time, but we should not forget that true love always wins, love conquers all. As people believe that people with Down’s Syndrome cannot take care of themselves, so traditionally, there have been great concerns about marriages between persons with Down syndrome. Many experts maintain there are multiple advantages of such a partnership and marriage, which include having a close friend and companion with whom they could share a wide range of experiences and social learning, motivation and emotional development, language stimulation, the sharing of physical chores, greater activity in social and physical events, and a greater exploration of the environment. The marriage of Maryanne and Tommy Pilling was the first one in the UK, and even though it was greeted with skepticism and even criticism, they proved everyone wrong. They fell in love and got married in an Essex chur...

Animals have true healing power, and animal lovers claim that the company of their pets drastically improves the quality of their lives. Share: Cats and dogs have been proven to help their owners battle anxiety and depression, improve mood, and lower blood pressure. Therefore, in 2015, the state of Indiana coupled up with the Animal Protection League for an amazing project at the Pendleton Correctional Facility called F.O.R.W.A.R.D, which involved placing shelter cats in the correctional facility, to be taken care of by the inmates. The idea proved to be great for both, the cats and the inmates. Cats got the care and love they deserve after years of maltreatment and started trusting in humans again. These cats lack trust in people and have a lower chance of being adopted. What they need is patient and loving care that this program provides to them. Michelle Rains, FORWARD spokeswoman, explained that cat duty is voluntary, so she interviews each applicant extensively to make sure he is ...

Not only the US, but the entire world faces a huge problem with animal overpopulation. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) reports that over 1.5 million (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats) are euthanized annually in the US. The situation is a bit alleviates due to adopting shelter animals and sterilization, but the issue remains, so volunteers are in high demand in shelters all across the country.

Well, the cross country team at St Joseph High School joined up with the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter, so that the kids each take a dog with them out on their morning run. These activities are beneficial for anyone involved, and the mor...

Most people are cat lovers, and you might already have a feline or two at home. Although they all seem adorable and loving, some cats just seem to go off the charts as far as adorable is concerned, and one of those is the Selkirk Rex breed. These cats originate in 1987, so they are a fairly new breed. These cats have curly, thick and beautiful hair, so they are known as poodle cats, and sometimes are noted as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Selkirk Rex showed up in Montana, as a product of a feral cat that had five kittens. One of the kittens had longer, thicker and curlier hair than the rest, and it gave birth to six other kittens, three of which had thicker fluffy coats.

Later, Newman bred the cat with a black Persian male, and Miss DePesto’s litter of six kittens featured three with straight hair and three wit...
