I think my sisters maltese is deaf...you can call and call and she wont' come, or if she's sleeping and you touch her, she jumps like she's scared..I told her a long time ago I felt she was deaf...She woulnd't be able to do the squeaky toy though(although, that's a really good idea), as she has 5 little ones in the house, and about the time she would squeak it, the other 4 would come, and the other one I'm sure would follow..
