Hurricane Ian: Evacuees rescue drowning baby deer from floodwater
You must have come across various wild animal rescue operation videos and images on the internet.
Despite the fact that animals are physically stronger than people, there are still some situations and places in this world where the brute creations lack the necessary ability and do need human help.
In one such incident, a man in the United States recently stepped up to help wildlife when Hurricane Ian hit Florida earlier this week.
Owen Fletcher and his roommates reportedly rescued a baby deer in distress as Hurricane Ian slammed Orlando with flooding rains.
Mr Fletcher, who lives off of University Boulevard, said that the baby deer was struggling to stay above water. He and his roommates then brought it onto their balcony to keep it safe.
When the group was evacuated from their apartment building, they then brought the deer with them to Lake Nona. They now intended to release the baby deer into the wild, Mr Fletcher said, according to news reports.
Meanwhile, the deadly Hurricane Ian, which is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, had left a trail of devastation. Almost two million customers were without electricity in Florida, out of a total of more than 11 million.
Earlier this week, a video had also surfaced on the internet which captured how Fort Myers Beach was affected by storm surge and flooding caused by Hurricane Ian. -ndtv.com
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
