Mama Cow Couldn’t Stop Crying All Night Over Her Missing Baby. But When They Reunite It’s INCREDIBLE

This is Karma the cow’s story. Her rescue stemmed from an animal cruelty case in which her owner failed to provide her with any food, water, or shelter. She arrived extremely stressed out and malnourished to Gentle Barn and kept crying out, mooing all night long.

At first rescuers couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but they soon noticed she was dripping milk and then found out she’d recently had a baby, something her cruel owner had failed to mention. The volunteers set to work, eventually located Karma’s baby, and rushed out to pick him up. As soon as the trailer pulled up Karma instinctively sensed and knew that her newborn was inside of it.

Her reaction is both heart-warming and heart-breaking all at once. At first her poor calf stumbled and fell over from weakness, stress, and being away from his mother and her milk for so long. But he finally gets to her and as she checks him over he starts nursing right away, which is exactly what he needs.

You have to see the video to truly understand how heart wrenching and awesome it is to see mother and son reunited and safe. According to the Gentle Barn website, Karma is a great mother and the foundation managed to save 2 of her sons, the one you see in the video is one of them!

The Gentle Barn Foundation is dedicated to saving animals and educating children. Their staff and volunteers work tirelessly to help rescue and rehabilitate animals who have been severely abused, neglected, or abandoned. It started out as one woman’s dream and has since grown into a sanctuary program with two locations in the United States.

The original one is in Santa Clarita, California and the second opened in Knoxville, Tennessee. There are currently over 170 animals including horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, and more, who call Gentle Barn home.

Every animal they rescue gets a second chance at life. They often take in some of the most severely abused ones and many of the animals living there suffer from sickness, deformity, old age, and blindness. They arrive scared and mistrusting of all humans and their rehabilitation immediately begins.

It involves both traditional and non-traditional medicine, physical therapy, and volunteers provide them with ongoing emotional support. Over time they slowly start to regain their trust in people and come out of their protective shells. Once an animal has been fully rehabilitated it becomes an animal ambassador.

At risk children from foster care, mental health facilities, group homes, the inner city, and schools come to visit the farm and interact with the animals. They’re told about the animals stories and get to see first-hand how they overcame horrendous odds to become kind, gentle and trusting despite their past treatment.

The children often take away valuable lessons of compassion and courage, and for many it is a form of therapy in and of itself. Pass on Karma’s story and help spread the word about the incredible work Gentle Barn does!

Video: Nobody Believed Her When She Described What These Bears Do Every Morning. So She Caught THIS

The Basso family has quite a surprise as they awaken to find a Mama Bear and her five darling cubs frolicking in the welcome oasis of their backyard.  Even bears need to cool off!  They had the further bonus of all the kids play equipment; enjoying the swing set and the little slide.

We get to listen to the audio of the family’s toddler Sophie and her parents react to the bear shenanigans.  It’s really great to see the parallel of the mama bear leading her cubs and Mama Basso setting the positive tone for the ‘goings on’ as both Sophie and her dad alternate in their upset over the invasion.

Sophie wants the police to take care of the situation as she cries “They took my floatie!” Mama Basso’s calm narration as she reframes the situation for both Sophie and Dad,  telling them, “Let the animals enjoy themselves”, is just delightful.

She is filled with wonder watching the bear family play, except when they start mangling her expensive float.  Little Sophie is pretty territorial about the invasion of her stuff, but can’t help but enjoy some of the bear family’s antics as her mom keeps spinning a positive note on this rare moment.

This video was so much fun to watch.  The ongoing commentary of the Basso family is hysterical! Enjoy!

This Guy Looks Normal But When He Wipes Off His Make Up My Jaw Dropped!

I didn’t know what to expect when this video started. At first, the man referred to as “zombie boy” looks like a normal person you would see walking down the street. Since I knew his nickname, I expected something crazy to happen, but nothing could have prepared me for the transformation that took place next. As it turns out, what meets the eye at first glance is not always the case upon further inspection.

When we first see or meet someone, we form impressions, or prejudgments of that person based on our experience with others who share similarities. It is impossible to avoid doing this, but a good lesson we are taught over and over again is that we should try not to judge a book by its cover.

This video is a new take on this idea, presented in reverse to show us how much our first impression informs our view of a person. If you are like me, you didn’t have a strong impression, negative or positive when I first saw him.

But as he removed the heavy layer of professionally applied makeup that was covering his entire body, the impressions and associations started to form. If they had started the video with a picture of zombie boy as he looks at the end of the video, I would have formed those impressions almost immediately.

By showing the process in reverse, the makers of this video uncover our own preconceived judgments and buried stereotypes at the same time as they uncover the tattooed skin that lies hidden beneath the makeup. Once again, we are taught the valuable lesson that things are rarely as they seem at first glance!

These Wild Elephants Take This Walk Once A Year. But Watch What They Caught On Video!

The visit that is captured in this beautiful video was a transporting experience.  What you are about to view is the yearly pilgrimage that takes place by a family of wild elephants.  They visit a lovely hotel in Zambia called the Mfuwe Lodge, when the mangos are ripe. Wonky Tusk, their matriarch, leads them through the reception area of the Lodge, so that they can reach the mango tree on the grounds of the hotel.

She intuitively knows when the mangos are ripe, and brings her family to enjoy their delicious snack. Wonky and her family, which includes an adorable baby elephant, seem to know that it is safe for them to partake of these treats.  Equally amazing is that their human friends leave them be in this incredibly peaceful scene.  A mutual trust is evident as they enter the lodge.

After they are satiated from the mangos, they peacefully lay down to take a nap.  After resting they gently rumble back through the lodge for their leave-taking.  One can only imagine what an unforgettable experience this is for the visitors. I now have something new for my bucket list. I would love to watch this in person!

When Her Fiancé Lays His Eyes On Her Make-Up Transformation He Can’t Hold Back the Tears!

What started as an interesting experiment turned out to be an incredibly moving and emotional experience for this young couple, engaged to be married in a month. Through the magic of professional make up artists, this couple received a rare opportunity to glimpse into the future. At less than thirty years of age, each of these two were able to see what the other might look like in their fifties, seventies and nineties.

I wonder if these two were nervous before they embarked on this journey? I know I was when I first started watching. What if they didn’t like what the other might one day look like? What if they hadn’t thought it all the way through, or when they had thought about it, they underestimated the changes that would take place?

Far from increasing my trepidation, the results made me more confident in my own relationship and ability to see the beauty in my loved ones even as time changes things in ways we cannot control. Their touching words in response to each other’s changing appearance left everyone watching with wet cheeks.

Instead of being appalled by the physical side effects of the aging process, the experience brought them even closer. Each gray hair, every spot and wrinkle told a story. What deep experiences are written into the superficial changes that form each face?

What memories have been created, what joys and sorrows have brought them closer together and strengthened their bond of love beyond what any superficial change could possibly restrain? By the end of the experiment, they were more in love than ever, and even more ready to get married and start creating the memories that would form their shared life.

This Pup Is Scared Of The Carpet. How He Overcomes His Fear Is An Unexpected Surprise!

People and animals face their fears in all sorts of different ways. The most common advice that you often hear given involves going head first and staring whatever it is that you’re afraid of in the face. If you have a fear of heights, go to somewhere high enough to make you uncomfortable and look down.

If you are afraid of swimming in the ocean, go to the beach and jump in the water. While this is sage advice, it doesn’t work for everyone. Instead, people turn to alternative ways in which they can try to stand up to their fears. Whether it’s through meditation, hypnosis, therapy, or something else, if you can find a way to get past personal fears it should be considered a huge success.

Many people like to say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” and that’s the attitude you should adopt before, and after, you conquer your inner demons and fears. Take a page out of this dog’s book, and watch what he does in the video to do just that!

The adorable Golden Retriever has a very unique way of facing his fear of carpet. While he doesn’t mind walking on hardwood floors, the sight and feel of carpet beneath his paws makes him very nervous. As you can see, he whines and glances at the carpet before him with fear in his eyes as he hesitates to step on it.

Finally, he gathers the courage and strength from deep within himself, turns his body around a full 180 degrees, and backs up rear-end first onto the carpet. He successfully faced his fears in the cutest, most comical way possible. What an awesomely clever dog and more power to him!

I Thought It Was A Terrible Idea When He Set A Wine Cork On Fire But This Unexpected Trick Is Brilliant!

One of life’s little joys can be found in a nice relaxing glass of wine. There is just something inherently comforting and enjoyable when you sit back and sip on it after a long stressful day. It seems like there is a wine out there for everyone with so many types and varieties readily available.

Once the bottle is empty it usually doesn’t take long before another one is uncorked and wine aficionados often end up with a bunch of corks laying around. Instead of treating them as waste and throwing them out put them to good use and get the most out of your wine habit!

Wine lovers everywhere can appreciate this video that covers 8 different ways to reuse leftover corks. The first project is for wine cork magnets. Cut a cork into 1/8th inch pieces and glue small magnets on one side, then decorate the other side however you wish. Similarly, you can hollow out one end of a cork, place an air plant in it, glue on some magnets, and stick it on any metal surface.

Air plants don’t require any watering because they get all their required nutrients from the air, so they make perfect low maintenance plants for this project. Next up is floating cork key-chains that will ensure your keys never sink when they end up in water. Take a cork and insert a screw eye in the middle of one end, tighten until snug, then attach a key ring and key to it.

Need a bag clip? Make a few wine cork chip clips to help keep bagged food fresh and crisp. Stand a cork up and cut down about an inch into it, move over about a ¼ of an inch and make a 2nd downwards on a 30 degree angle so you end up with a wedge. Another handy use is to make them into plant markers. Take a wooden skewer and stab the sharp end into the cork, label appropriately and stick it in the ground near the plant.

For a more decorative approach try making a candle cork vase. Take a large vase and a smaller glass of equal height that can fit inside of it. Put a candle inside the small glass, place that into the vase, and fill in the surrounding gap with an assortment of corks.

Another useful thing you can make is a cork mirror that doubles as a hot plate to protect counter tops and surfaces from hot pots and pans. Cut a bunch of corks in half lengthwise and lay them out on the mirror you wish to decorate. Glue them on 2 at a time so they frame the mirror and trim any to make it fit nicely.

Finally, we saved the best for last, cork candles. Take a small mason jar and fill it with 70% rubbing alcohol, place a few corks inside, cover it tightly, shake it up, and let it sit for at least 24-48 hours (the longer the better). When you go to burn it simply take a cork out and place it in a candle holder that fits it snugly ad then light the top.

It doesn’t last as long as a normal candle but it’s a good alternative and great to have around in case of an emergency. That’s it! All of these DIY projects are simple, cheap, and easy to do. The next time you drink a bottle of vino, save the cork and reuse it!
