When Amanda heard of Bear, an abandoned, lost dog in the mountains of Evan’s Creek, she decided to act immediately.
Together with her friend Dylan, they set out to try to locate the lonely dog.
For over an hour, Amanda and Dylan tried to coax Bear using food and treats – but their plan failed.
The next day when they returned, they spotted Bear in the same area. They again tried to coax him to get closer so they could help him, but in vain.
That’s when the girls got, to say the least, a very creative idea.
They decided that Amanda would lay down and ‘play dead’, acting as if she were in need of help.
Said and done: The next day, Amanda lay down on the ground in the area they she suspected Bear was.
And what happened two hours later has filled thousands of animals friends’ hearts with warmth.
It all began when a driver spotted a dog at a campsite in Evans Creek, Washington State.
The dog looked both scared and malnourished. The dog got aggressive when the driver tried to approach him.
A few days later, a girl named Amanda got wind of the wild dog, known as Bear.
Don’t Toss Those Eggshells! Seven Surprising Reasons to Keep Them
If you’re a fan of eggs, you’re not alone. Besides being a tasty and nutritious choice, eggshells come with some surprising benefits. Before you toss them out, here are seven reasons to consider keeping those eggshells around.
1. Natural Pest Repellent
Got slugs and snails wreaking havoc in your garden? Crushed eggshells scattered around your plants can help. These critters dislike the rough texture, so eggshells can keep them at a distance naturally.
2. Deer Deterrent
Living near wooded areas can mean deer snacking on your plants. But scattered eggshells may be the answer. Deer dislike the scent of eggshells, making this an easy way to keep them away from your garden.
3. Bird Attractor
Eggshells can help attract birds to your garden, which not only adds to the ambiance but also helps with insect control. Sprinkle a few crushed eggshells around, and you’ll likely see more feathered visitors keeping pests in check.
4. Soil Enricher
Eggshells are a great source of calcium and other nutrients that improve soil quality. Adding crushed eggshells to your garden beds can give your plants a little nutritional boost, helping them grow stronger.
5. Calcium Boost for Vegetables
Certain vegetables, like tomatoes and peppers, need extra calcium to avoid issues like blossom-end rot. Mixing crushed eggshells into the soil around their roots can help keep your veggies healthy, flavorful, and firm.
With these simple tricks, your leftover eggshells can be a natural boost for your garden!
