Topaz is not a full-blooded pitbull. While being mostly pitbull she is also part game dog (my guess is pointer). So I often find that if I listen while she is trying to talk to me through body language that I get to see some pretty cool things.
First, if something is nearby her head will raise high into the air and she will walk around intensely sniffing the air. When she is facing in the right direction she will point in the direction of whatever is out there...usually it is a bird or a squirrel.
This morning she pointed out a whole herd of deer that were walking through one field and into the next. So there we were...me standing in the yard, her pointing...watching a herd of deer two fields away for five minutes.
This is the second time she has pointed out deer. The first time, I did not listen to her and ended up coming around a corner and scaring them off.
I really need to start carrying my camera with me when I take her out so I can get some pictures of her finds.
Now, I will spend the rest of the day with her dancing in front of the door in hopes that I will take her out so she can go look for more deer.
