"Even though he needs constant supervision when he's not in his cage -- thanks to his habit of wiggling out of his harness and leash -- Robin is adorable and I love him."
My girlfriend and I adopted a ferret, because my girlfriend is allergic to cats and rabbits, I'm not fond of dogs or rats, and neither of us are much for non-mammalian pets. We named the ferret Robin -- I was thinking Robin Hood, my girlfriend was thinking Robin Goodfellow. Neither of us was thinking Dick Grayson, Boy Wonder, but that namesake fits too.
Robin the ferret is ridiculously adorable and lovable. We may have to get another ferret, just to make sure he has a playmate when we're busy or at work.
There's video under the cut.
