This evening he had one of his huge energy spurts so I decided to take him for a walk. I live in a small city but right next to a football field so I took him there and let him run around. I decided to try seeing if he would fetch a tennis ball. He has been fetching and bringing it back but only in our house and in our backyard at a max distance of 10 yards. I threw it once about 25 yards and he sprinted after it and brought it back so the next one I chucked it as far as I could, prolly about 60 yards and he brought it back perfectly! I was so excited for him. He prolly did this three or four more times before he started getting distracted so I stopped and just let him get out the rest of his energy by running around. I was so impressed by him fetching that I decided to see if he'd point the wing when I got home and he did!
Previously he hadn't pointed anything. Like I said previously, I know that him pointing the wing means absolutely nothing and that most dogs don't ever point it but I was still kind of bummed and was going to continually get him to sight point. I'll be putting the wing up for good now, but I was just happy to finally see him point something. I think that he pointed a firefly once for about .5 seconds before lunging at it and eating it. By my count, I have seen him eat 4 fireflies and 5 or 6 moths in the air, if only he were a frog......
