Hello!!
This is my first (intentional) posting to the FML!! I ahve been hearing
about the terrific information here for some years now, but have only
subscribed recently;  the first posting we received was in the early 700's.
 
Just a note about our cats and ferrets (we have two of each):  They get
along in varying degrees of "fine", depending on the individual.  Davey
(sable hob) and Firsa (mutt-orange cat) came from Linda Harrah's ferret
Sense, and while I doubt they knew each other intimately, at least each
knew what the other was.  They play "ferret tag", which is when Firsa jumps
on/near Davey, then runs away, carpet shark in hot pursuit.  Of course
Firsa is much faster than our chubby boy, so she gets ahead.  When she
does, she stops and waits for him to catch up!  As he gets almost close
enough to "latch on", Firsa bounds away again!! :-)  Spice (albino sprite)
and Mattie (mutt-grey queen cat), are not so playful.  Mattie generally
just goes to a high place and watches--excuse me, supervises--the other's
anticts.  Spice is everywhere and with everybody, but her favorite pastimes
are tusseling with Davey, or climbing things (like the computer
desk--hey!!).   She came from a household where she was pretty much
ignored, so social play (evcept with Davey) is foreign to her.  She did
manage to keep a black Lab at bay in her former home!!  She's no pushover!!
 
My problem--we did not receive FML #725.  Instead, we got the message
below.  Did anyone else receive it?  I haven't read any "where'd it go?"
messages, so I think the problem was with us somehow.  Could someone please
forward it to us?  I hate to miss any information--I am now totally
addicted!!  And, maybe somebody could explain what happened?
 
[I'd have to see more of the bounce - don't send it to the FML, send
it to ferret-request.  I haven't heard of any problems with 725.  But,
I believe that prodigy has a rather dodgy mailer, and you are the only
prodigy member of the FML.  Please note that the FAQ you received
when you subscribed tells how to retrieve backissues.  If you don't
have a copy of the FMLFAQ, the header of every issue contains instructions
on how to retrieve a copy.]
