Around here we are supposed to report sick animals but there is no surviving deer CWD.

If it has cwd, I'd consider setting the house on fire and moving
Yikes…some storm there in the UK
We’re sad to announce that #StormÉowyn has caused severe damage across our Gardens.
At #Edinburgh, 15 trees have been lost – either uprooted or damaged beyond recovery. This includes the Garden’s tallest tree, the 29-metre Cedrus deodara, planted in 1859

Yes here in Essex we have a flood alert. Also my colleagues and I were concerned about pupils on bikes in this wind!Yikes…some storm there in the UK

Natrah
I think he just looks comfortable and is taking a siesta. He looks somewhat young. Are you sure his mom didn't tell him to just hang out for a bit? and she's lurking...
It's similar to the his CathieInteresting. I've never heard of a calor gas heater before. Please explain thank you
You buy bottles of gas. Calor may just be the trade name, you can also get LPG gas bottles too. It's been very handy and soon warms up a room before the heating kicks in. The bottles last well too if only used occasionally when needed. I bought my last bottle back in November. It's good to have a back up with all the storms we have now.
It's been really bad in Ireland and Scotland. Whole rows of trees have been lost in Ireland. So sad to lose any tree but especially historic trees.Yikes…some storm there in the UK

Ok it probably is a trade name. I use those too but mine is a Mr heater big buddy if I have to.
It's time I was in bed, but the rain is lashing the windows and the wind is still coming at us so I probably won't be able to sleep.
The yellow wind, rain and flood warnings are still in place here but at least it's down to about 30 - 40 mph. It was about 60 mph last night. The storms we have now seem to last for days
The south west of the UK has had widespread flooding, hopefully not near Angie and I hope Natrah's area is safe.
We had a long, dry spell before last weekend but we've certainly made up for it since. It should calm down by Wednesday
I hope the extreme cold has eased and it's warmed up slightly for all affected over the pond.
Stay safe, warm and dry everyone.
Nos da.

I'm always a bit wary of them.
Last year a friend was staying at a fishing lodge they own where they have always used bottle gas for heating and cooking, and one morning when she lit the gas to boil water, there was an explosion. The kitchen area was totally destroyed and although she was hospitalised with burns she's very lucky to be alive. I always disconnect mine when it's not in use.
I went through different emotions while watching. That is exactly why I would try to keep Ms. Sully from laying fertile eggs.
No Ms Cathie, this one has been left to fend for itself. The other deer shun him and will run off if he comes into view. It's almost like they know something is wrong with him. He is always alone and its very sad for us to watch him degrade. We try to make "sense" of it but as every person here knows, it's very difficult. We came to the conclusion that the phone # for animal control is really a line to therapists who help get folks through it. LOL There isn't anything they can do short of removing him and we aren't about that yet. I've used 27 of my 31 lives(like a cat with 9 but different) so I'm not one to count him out yet....I've enjoyed too many "lucky as heck" moments!I think he just looks comfortable and is taking a siesta. He looks somewhat young. Are you sure his mom didn't tell him to just hang out for a bit? and she's lurking...
Space Heaters..... I used one of those 27 lives at 18 years old when Rodger pulled me from my burning trailer. The pillow had fallen right in front of the electric heater and filled the space with thick smoke. It wouldn't have taken but a couple more minutes and this ride would have been cut drastically short!
I have a Mr Heater 80,000btu diesel "salamander" for the garage and a "5kw parking heater" for my shed.
The shed heater has an exhaust pipe to go outside and also burns diesel fuel. I paid 52 bucks for it....equal to the Velvor model at $90. Same unit with a different name like so many item's from china are in fact so shop around! The garage heater is only run when I'm watching it. I even stay out there as the garage warms...it spews flames...so I don't trust it. The shed heater can run 10hr without any worries....I do trust that one, mostly.
Thank You
We would be nothing without this wonderful place and the wonderful people like you
Wow! I didn't realise one of our members was involved. I just thought what wonderful people they are for rescuing them. I'll look up ED on the forums.
Thank you from me too, you do incredible work.
If the electricity goes out I'll have to depend on my Big Buddy and my little lap warmer Mr Fre for heat
. A nice cozy soup cooking on the gas stove for humidity and more heat helps too. I only have to use 1 or 2 1lb. Canisters and it all works to keep this little house warm enough for long enough. I could fix it up to a 30lb.er but I don't want to have to deal with all that.
nope. I keep the lights on with rechargeable candles 
the only thing I hate is all the extra work 
Me too. A simple test with sudsy water can easily check for gas leaks though. I always do that when I fix one up with the canisters. You have to be careful when attaching the canisters though. The fittings can easily get screwed
