About a week ago I wrote in about a little girl we took in that was whining in her sleep and not making any other noises. Well, my husband accidentally stepped on her tail with his bare feet and he didn't realize he was on it. She was fighting to get away but not making any sounds. After I got to thinking about it we got the squeaky toy and bell out and we decided she is deaf. She is a great little sweetheart. She does have a tiny little white line between her ears. Just thought I would let all know about this. Penny [Posted in FML issue 2958]
