Another of our products at AOL is myAOL. If you've used my Yahoo or MSN, you'll know that myAOL can be a great place for your own personalized start page.





They have just added some great pet content, a bunch of different topics from Dogs and Cats to Ferrets and Gerbils, and lovely Bunny Rabbits. As a fellow Brit, I didn't realize that ferrets were that popular here -- but I guess they have some following in the USA too. You can also get your daily AnimalHubbub updates too!

Check out myAOL here.

I had my first encounter with a ferret years ago. It was an unforgettable moment. While gazing from my office window one rainy afternoon enjoying the sound of the gentle spring rain hitting the pane, my eye was caught by the sight of a man in the parking lot rapidly opening and closing his umbrella, aiming it at something on the ground.

As I looked more closely, I saw that he was trying to defend himself from a little animal. I was able to rescue the little golden (butterscotch colored) ferret. Ultimately he was adopted by a woman who kept ferrets and found him a forever loving home. Handling this little creature was an amazing experience.

I sure wish I had known ChristmasFerrets (Chris, pictured at left) when that first ferret had crossed my path. Several years passed, however, before I met this ferret-friendly lady in the AOL Pets community. Chris has rescued many of these exotic members of the Mustelidae (weasel) family over the years. She loves them deeply, and they respond to her in kind.

Fun-loving, curious and engaging, ferrets can be excellent pets. Chris sent me several photos of her brood ...
