Day 8: #HAWMC Animals

Diabetes, The Sneaky Weasel in our Lives

In thinking about what animal Diabetes would be, my thoughts kept jumping back to the weasel.  Oh! not the real life version.  I actually find members of the Mustelidae family; weasels, ferrets, badgers, to be quite endearing.  I mean the anthropomorphism version of the animal.  You know, the little buggers who occupied and sacked Toad Hall in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham or the mafia hitmen in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Diabetes is sneaky.  It comes in, unnoticed, like a thief in the night.  Everything seems fine and then, all of a sudden, it's not fine anymore and you don't even know what happened!  It is like something snuck in and out.  Like something something so small, so smart, crafty and silent must have crept in, done it's evil deed and you didn't even notice.

Beady little eyes, cute little face, but dont' get too close...this little baby has teeth, and lots of them!

PS!  This post was not meant to offend weasels, weasel lovers, Weasley's, lover's of Weasleys (or any Harry Potter fans), or anyone.
