I've been doing this for a while now, but I usually had to go find Gypsy as
she's deaf.  However, lately I've noticed that Gypsy shows up at the squeak!
I know she hasn't gotten her hearing back ... I think she must be able to
tell something different about how the others look when they're going for a
treat!  :) It's amazing how they compensate.  :)
