Jellybean the Diabetic Dachshund 🇦🇺
@blueskybeanie.bsky.social
I am a good boy.
My friends call me Beanie.
Having a doggy nightmare.
Woofing in my sleep. My fur also started standing up (which usually makes me look intimidating).
Luckily my dad was there to soothe me.

Evening lounge routine: 1st pat, 2nd pat, dig a hole for a long time with my powerful legs (very important), then settle.

I saw my dad reading and I didn't want to miss out on cuddle time. I need help to climb up, then its tummy scratch time.

I am a sausage loaf. I have active and standby modes.

My humans go on about all this Easter stuff. I don't understand but I wish they'd stop putting this stuff on my head.

That lizard makes me so angry.

There's a lizard on my grass! It's an emergency! I'm not sure why my humans don't understand the need to let me out there to kill it.

I don't really like getting my eyedrops. Since getting my cataract surgery I need them daily. I'm a bit more stoic than I used to be.

It's important to get maximum surface area contact to my dad when he's reading.

I cleverly park myself here in the doorway to ensure my dad can't go out. Or at the very least to ensure I get a tummy scratch on the way.

Tummy scratch please. I have raised my tiny legs to clear the area.

I'm a handsome boy shining majestically in the sun. A shame my humans didn't clean this glass properly to appreciate it.

Post eye surgery check-ups were not fun, but the vets were very kind. I've had to do this a few times now, but my eyes have healed well.

I wore my neck cone for ages but at least I could see enough to bark at everything outside my window again! My dad put lots of eye drops and ointments in my eyes every hour for days. Finally I was allowed to take it off!

My humans paid a lot of money. They put artificial silicon lenses into my eyes (the same procedure they use for humans).
I was scared in the hospital with very sore eyes for some days, but then my daddy arrived! I was so happy!
I wore a cone to stop me scratching my eyes - they were very itchy.

A month later it got worse. I didn't understand. I was tripping on the stairs, moving very slowly trying to remember where things were. I stopped barking at things outside and I lost my purpose. I moped a lot. My eyes turned almost completely grey with cataracts.

In late 2023 I was diagnosed with diabetes. I need an insulin injection twice daily and I'm much better now.
In Feb 2024 I went suddenly blind.
I was tripping over things in the house and my people had to carry me outside for my toilet. I got very sad and depressed.

If my retractable lead is extended all the way and I'm sitting down like a mermaid it means I've had enough. Can't you see I'm telling you this with my eyes?

I wag my tail with pleading eyes hoping that food prepared on the kitchen bench-top may drop.
I thoroughly lick the floor anyway whether any food dropped or not. Luckily it's not far to reach down for me.

I watch from the stairs with my serious eyebrows.
