NFL Star Locks Himself In A Hot Car To Reveal What It’s Like For Dogs. The Result Is Terrifying!

Here we are at last, in the heat of summer. Many of us wait all year, weathering the cold temperatures when we would prefer to be someplace warm, memories of the warm summer sun and long days getting us through the dark winter months.
But the heat also carries a certain danger, especially when it comes to the very common problem of leaving pets in hot cars. It might seem like our loved pet might be fine, just for a couple minutes, but as you will see demonstrated in this video, the temperature escalates very quickly.
In mere minutes, the temperature skyrockets, making it difficult for the animal to breathe. As difficult as this is for a human, like we see in this video, it is even harder for pets for multiple reasons. First, they have fur. This obviously holds heat in and therefore makes it much more difficult for them to cool down. We can sweat when we are too hot, because our lack of fur makes the evaporation that cools us happen much more quickly.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, if it is 80 degrees outside, within 30 minutes the inside of the car will be up to 114 degrees. In as little as 10 minutes, the car will be over 100 degrees.
Leaving the car in the shade is not enough either, because the shade moves with the sun and provides inadequate protection.

Dog Was Terrified To Step Over The Yellow Wire. Now Watch THIS Unexpected Strange Solution!
image via – youtube.com
People and animals face their fears in all sorts of different ways but the most common advice that’s often given is to go head first and stare whatever it may be that you’re afraid of right in the eye. If you have a fear of heights, go to somewhere high enough that makes you feel uncomfortable and look down. If you have a fear of tight spaces, jam yourself into one and deal with the emotions that wash over you. While this all may be very sage advice in theory, it doesn’t work for everyone in reality.
That’s why people choose to go a different route and instead turn to alternative ways in which they can try to stand up to their fears. Some try to conquer them through meditation, hypnosis, therapy, or in any other way they can think of, and if you can find a way to get past personal fears it should be considered a huge success.
When it’s all said and done, lots of people like to say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” That’s the kind of attitude you should adopt not only after, but also before, you conquer your inner demons and fears. Or you could take a page out of this dog’s book, and watch what he does in the video to do just that!
The adorable Bulldog is named Bentley and he has a very unique way of facing his fear of crossing cables. In this instance, the cable happens to be a yellow electrical cord that’s snaked across the hallway. He needs to get by the darn thing so he can go outside, but the sight of the cord clearly makes him nervous as it slows him down and draws his attention straight towards it.
You can literally see him thinking as he sizes up what to do about the cord and his big wrinkly head moves back and forth from side to side. Then, when he finally makes his move, it’s hilarious! Bentley gathers up all the courage and strength from deep within himself, turns his body around a full 180 degrees, and backs up rear-end first over the cord.
He doesn’t stop for one moment or let the scary cord out of his sight as he backs down the hall the rest of the way to the door. The experience didn’t kill him so he must be stronger from it and he managed to successfully face his fears in the cutest, most comical way possible. What an awesomely clever dog and more power to him!
Enjoy the hilariousness below!

Now that we are smack dab in the middle of summer. flies, gnats and mosqutos are everywhere. If you are like me you are probably getting bit up all day everyday while you are outside doing yard work, playing with the kids or just catching some rays of sunshine. Not only are these flying bugs annoying, but they tend to swarm your trash, lighted areas and food that is sitting around and can spread disease!
Some people like to light special bug repelling candles which only work a little bit. Then there is bug spray which is super stinky and feels really chemically on you skin. It basically seems like nothing stops these bugs but their is a new trend that has been catching fire around the world and people are starting to do it everywhere.
Somehow somebody figured out that if you fill a clear plastic bag with water and a penny it can be used to keep these creepy flying nuisannces at bay. To create this DIY fly repelleant you will need a strong a stronger clear freezer bag, a bit of lime juice, salt and some pennies. Once you get all the ingredients together fill the bag with water and the rest of the supplies then hang it above a door, inside or wherever you are having a flying bug infestation.
Soon you will notice these little annoying gnats will scatter and begin to leave you and your family alone! It also works best in under the sun with the light shining through or at night with a lamp or light shinging through it. This will make your DIY bug reppeleant that much stronger!
This is how to make this awesome summer life hack but if you want to know how it works watch the video below for the full explanation!

Does Your Cat Do The Head Bump All The Time? THIS Is The Strange and Surprising Reason Why.
image via – youtube.com
Cats have held important roles all throughout history and practically everyone knows how the ancient Egyptians worshiped them as sacred. Fewer people are aware of the fact that up until several hundred years ago there were no cats at all in North America.
It wasn’t until they were brought over from Europe to help manage with pest control that they were first introduced to this side of the Atlantic. In that short span of time felines have managed to win over our hearts and in the process, our homes.
Today they are the number one most popular pet animal with an estimated 88 million of them in the US alone. A 2014 Carroll University study found that 11.5% of people identify themselves as cat people yet 30.4% of US households own a cat.
The study found all sorts of interesting things about cat owners, they’re 11% more likely to be introverted and 17% more likely to have a graduate degree, but it failed to shed light on more pressing cat issues….like why they do the things they do!
If you’ve ever wondered why your cat does certain things, here are the top most common cat behaviors decoded and explained in human terminology. The accompanying video goes over them as well in greater detail, be sure to check it out so that when your cat displays them, you’ll know what kitty is saying or conveying:
Headbutting- Your cat is saying hello and likes you! When they bump their head against you it’s also called ‘bunting’ which is a friendly gesture and a common manner in which cats greet people. They do it when they feel safe and as a way to rub their scent glands on you, which is a compliment so be thankful. Don’t get too excited though because they also love to do it to the couch! 🙂
Randomly sprinting to and fro- Your cat is trying to get in some exercise. Unlike dogs who get to go on long walks, domestic cats lack that luxury and basically have to walk themselves. They do that by bursting into a sudden ball of energy and running full speed across the house. Like most of the things cats do, they do it seemingly randomly whenever and wherever they want, but mostly when they’re feeling restless.
Spreading their legs- Your cat trusts you. An open legged position means that a cat is comfortable enough around you to fully submit and recognize that you’re in charge. Splaying their legs is a felines way of showing you vulnerability in the most vulnerable way they possibly can.
Sticking their behind in your face- Your cat wants to get to know you. When they back their rears up to your face it may seem offensive to you, butt it’s anything butt that! It’s actually kitty saying ‘hey what’s up’ to you because cats communicate mainly via scent and it turns out that butt sniffing is their main way of greeting one another.
Shake their booty before pouncing- Your cat is balancing itself. The booty quaking is adorable, funny, and a major part of why we love cats so much, but it’s actually part of a larger movement they’re doing to help balance themselves. To find equal footing a cat wiggles and part of that motion involves the entire leg and foot, which is what we end up seeing.
Kneading you like dough- Your cat is thinking back to their baby kitten days when they fed from their mother. This instinct is very strong in cats and while it’s original purpose, to get more milk from their mother’s breast, is no longer warranted, they do it anyways. Often it’s a sign of comfort and relaxation and
Laying on your stuff- Your cat wants attention. When you stare at your laptop all day long, your cat notices and when they want your attention they will sit right on it, front and center. Kitty’s don’t always need their human’s attention but when they feel the urge they always get what they want. It’s a simple as that.
Ignoring food in front of them, then eating random stuff- Your cat isn’t hungry or can’t see the food. Cats are grazers and will eat whenever they’re hungry. If you give them food at a time when they are not yet hungry, they won’t eat it. Also, they can’t see anything directly in front of their face because they’re near sighted. Anything within a foot is out of focus.
Burying their poops- Your cat is protecting itself. In an evolutionary, instinctual sense, a cat burying its number two is done to avoid other predators from getting a whiff of it and becoming alerted to their presence. In multi-cat households, they also cover it up to avoid offending other more dominant cats. However, when they fail to bury their doo-doo it can mean they’re possibly angry at you or offended by something you did.
Sleeping a lot- Your cat is normal. On average cats live 12-15 years and spend 70% of their lives asleep. Kittens need more sleep than adult cats because that’s how they get big and strong, when they’re asleep their bodies release growth hormones.

THIS Guy Noticed Her Washed Up On The Rocky Hill On The Verge Of Death. What He Does Next Is Unbelievable!
image via – youtube.com
Geoff George was on a mission and time was of the essence. Looking down a steep rocky cliff he could see an animal laying at the bottom that appeared to be lifeless. It was a sick baby seal that had seemingly been abandoned and if he didn’t rescue it soon, the pup would die.
George worked for the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) located in the UK’s Channel Islands. A good Samaritan had first spotted the seal pup alone on the beach and alerted the GSPCA of the dire situation.
After he arrived on the scene, George peered down and could see that it was a young grey seal pup. The rescue organization had taken in and cared for baby seals before, and thankfully for the last two years none had needed their help, but this one was in bad shape. Even from where he stood atop the cliff it looked very thin and weak and had clearly been either abandoned or separated from its mother.
Working carefully and methodically, George made his way down the steep rocky cliff towards the remote beach. When he finally reached the seal pup, he quickly assessed its condition and could tell that it was extremely malnourished. He carefully wrapped it up in tarp, tying it into a makeshift stretcher, before slinging it over his shoulder and making his way back up the cliff.
He brought the tiny seal to the GSPCA Wildlife Unit where a team of vets checked it over thoroughly. They estimated that the female pup was only one week old, and she was in such terrible shape that they were unsure she’d even make it through the night. A pup her age should have weighed around 90 pounds, but she was only about 30 pounds, was severely dehydrated, and weak. Even so, they named her Bonnie and did their best to help her out.
Bonnie ended up surviving the critical first 36 hours at the wildlife center but her road to recovery would be long and was just beginning. She required constant, round the clock care at first, with food and fluids being administered by tubes before she built up her strength and could eat and drink on her own. After months in rehab, Bonnie was gaining weight and making progress. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of George and the entire team behind her, she had finally tripled her weight. That meant she could be released back into the wild where she belonged.
When they brought Bonnie to the oceanside and opened up her carrier she wasted no time and hopped right out. She made her way to the water and swam around freely in the open ocean, looking as happy as could be, she was finally home.

I’ve Never Heard a Baby Sloth Before. When This One Started Making Noise I Spit My Drink Out!
image via – youtube.com
There are a ton of adorable videos online that feature wide eyed sloths. The slow moving creatures are loved by lots of people the world over, and it’s easy to see why. They are always well behaved and very gentle, docile, and non-aggressive in their mannerisms and movements.
Sloths also make the cutest noises and if you haven’t hear what they sound like yet then you have to check out this video from YouTube channel Slothville TV. The video shows several sloths, including baby ones and grown up adults. They all make the cutest noises that seem to be quite appropriate and in line with their slowness.
It sounds almost like they are crying out in exasperation at how hard and annoying moving a few inches seems to feel like for them. The tiny newborn ones make a more squeaky, high pitched noise and it sounds like a cry that a baby animal would make.
As a point of comparison, the noises they produce are almost exactly like the sounds people make when they are not into something, or grunt halfheartedly, kind of like a “meeahh.” However, when it’s coming from a little crawling sloth’s mouth it’s 100x more cute and precious, by far. Sloths got their unflattering name due to the fact that they move so slowly.
However, they are built for this and are not the lazy, sluggish, lethargic mammals that we often view them as. Sloths only move when necessary because they need to conserve as much energy as possible due to their diet consisting of mainly leaves. Leaves provide little energy and are hard to digest.
Which is why sloths have specialized stomachs that slowly break down leaves and it often takes them a month or more to digest the contents of their stomachs completely. Other ways they conserve energy include low metabolic rates and low body temperatures, and of course, slow paced movements.
Enjoy the video below! This is guaranteed to make your day! 🙂
