This page will be updated as I find more gifs by A.J. You can view an archive of their website on the wayback machine here: A.J.'s Animated Ferret Gifs . There are many missing images due to the archive being so old but websites on the geocities archive and other places have contained some of the missing images.
Gifs that were found on other websites might have different filenames from the original missing images from A.J's page. Most of A.J's gifs seem to stop looping after a while, so reload (or CTRL+F5) the page if something isn't moving.
Here's what we've found so far:
5pumkinfer.gif - filename not seen on A.J's website; found at mail4mocha
bootan.gif
briefe_1.gif - filename not seen on A.J's website; found at mail4mocha
brieferretan.gif - found? at Cyber Mustilid's geocities archive. Image seems to be corrupted or editted, possibly not the original file.

I'm not sure if AJ made this image, but it's on his main page below the "All Things Ferretry" webring navigation. The text reads, "MAY KODO'S LIGHT SHINE / FOR THE WORLD TO SEE". This is in reference to a ferret named Kodo who, in 1997, was set to be euthanized after an elderly attendee of a pet show somehow started bleeding while trying to pet Kodo while the ferret was sleeping. You can read more about the event here.
The online ferret community went pretty justifiably bonkers over this horrible story, and support for Kodo can be seen in ferret lover's websites such as this devestating memorial page, and this tribute/informational page from MeLee's website. Kodo's owner had a website regarding the situation here.
Unconfirmed:
heartani.gif
I don't know if this is supposed to be heartan.gif, or if aj made it. It doesnt have his watermark, but it's similar to his style. Found at Barbara's geocities. Check out the rest of her site, she's an oldweb trans woman with a ferret named Bitch
