Your Own Virtual Sheep

SUMMARY: Become a virtual shepherd on your iGoogle page with "Virtual Pet Shaun".

What? You say that you don't have enough virtual pets to play with on your iGoogle page? Here comes "Virtual Pet Shaun", your own virtual sheep you can add.

Shaun munches on grass, make a baa sound when you click on it, and follows your mouse pointer around its area. Click on the "more" tab on the bottom right to give it some food to munch on besides just the grass. If your coworkers do not appreciate the sounds emanating from your iGoogle page and start to gang up in disgust, click the speaker icon to mute the sound effects.
