We just adopted her from the Oregon Ferret Shelter on August 28th, 2003. She is about three years old. She is a sable (typical ferret coloration and markings; dark brown). At this point in time she is easily startled but warms up quickly to people. When we adopted her, she came with the name Smokey. As you can already guess, this would cause a fair amount of confusion (especially since our Smokey and this new one look a lot alike. While Smokey and Bandit were playing wiht the new fuzzies at the shelter we noticed that Aria chittered a lot, even when she wasn't dancing around or actively interacting with the other ferrets a lot. It was like she was perpetually singin .. so we called her Aria. |
