I was really surprised today when I went to update my yahoo avatar and they had ferret items! Granted, there's not as many ferret items as dog and cat items, but it's better than nothing! Especially since most sites don't recognize anything other than dogs and cats. If you've never used yahoo avatars before, I suggest you try it out! it's a lot of fun to play with and it's much more customizable than other avatar sites. You get to choose everything - skin tone, hair style and color, eye color, face, body, clothes, backgrounds, and extra items that showcase your personality - these items include pets, children, hobby items, causes, sports, and more. You can even pick out your own accessories like glasses, earrings, bags, scarves, etc. And you can change the expression on your face from happy to sad to angry, etc. As for the ferret items, you can put a shirt on your avatar that says "I Heart Ferrets" and then there's a little ferret perching on your shoulder, or you can add a little baby ferret which is on the floor of whatever background you choose. Yahoo also had a little blurb on the avatars home page about how ferretsare the 3rd most popular pet in the US and how we should celebrate them by adding them to our avatars. I just thought I'd share this because there's been such negative things in the news going around about ferrets and this shows that not everyone sees ferrets as an animal that likes to eat baby's faces or as a weapon to be used on poor teenage boys! I also found it surprising that a company as big as yahoo is interested in ferrets - or at leats interested in using them in their avatars section. If anyone would like to see what my avatar looks like, just send me an email and I'll send you a pic!
