THE STONE RABBIT was so excited yesterday afternoon as he sat outside and watched my husband cut our grass for the first time this Spring!! What a joyous time this was for him. . . .the weather was FINALLY warm and the grass was growing in our yard!!!
This Springtime moment meant it was time to officially pull out the PINK tennis ball and. . . .
play "fetchl" with Izzie, our Grand Dog!
She is one fast little pooch when it comes to snatching up that ball and bringing it back!! She tells me that playing fetch in the house doesn't come close to feeling of retrieving that little orb in the great OUTDOORS!!
However, Izzie told me she wasn't happy with the conditions today. Even though she is nuts about leaping after the thrown PINK ball. . . .
she wasn't liking the feeling of putting that grass and leaf covered ball in her mouth!!!
She told me she would be thrilled if I would throw it on the driveway, instead.
So, I did!!
Izzie was happy. . . she could fetch and fetch and fetch that PINK ball. . . .
without it picking up grass clippings and stray dead leaves left over from last Fall !!
Yep. . . THE STONE RABBIT is right. There's not too many things better than the smell of the first freshly cute grass of the season. . . .and playing fetch, even with a picky dog! :)
I am certain you will have a "ball" when you visit Beverly of HOW SWEET THE SOUND! She will have a bunch of other bloggers linked up to share fun PINKS with you, too!!
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!!
DANA
I have the giggles after reading this delightful post! I'm glad that Izzie was able to play fetch without further problems. My favorite pic is of Izzie and The Stone Rabbit because they are both being very attentive..lol!

Go team Dana, TSR and Izzie. Do you have a team name? I'm watching my Blue Devils right now, but it is half-time.
Happy Pink Saturday to your very own "Team Pink".♥

I wish spring would arrive here in Idaho, sweetpea. Still waiting... Your granddog is a cutie but I think our great granddaughter is a tad cuter. Really, I DO! ;-)

Lovin' the shot of Izzie giving the ball the "hairy eyeball" stare! Have a great weekend Dana-Happy Spring:@)

Wow Dana, you were on it with your link. Good job. Smile. I tried but somehow I picked up my old giveaway link. When the old link showed up I just clicked on it. Wrong. I did it last week too. Beverly said she would fix it for me. What would we do without our tech rep.LOL.
I love Izzy's ball game expertize. He is just a little guy. The expression on his face was so cute when he didn't want to play catch on the grass. You capture the best photos Dana. I bet STR was a bit jealous.
I just spent the longest time doing a post for Claudie's birthday. I hope she likes what I did. It was fun.
We are Springing here in the mountains. Finally. I picked some triple daffodils that are growing at the bottom of our yard. I didn't plant them, they just popped up. I will post them next week.
I was happy to see you have a yard again. We need to mow soon. Bill is not looking forward to it at all.
I am starting dinner now and the problem is...I don't know what I am cooking. HA! Bill asked, "How long will it take you to make up your mind?" He did give me a good chuckle. Going out sounds good to me.
Happy Spring and Pink Sat.
Love, Jeanne

Our yard is greening up and Bobby G. cut the farmette for the first time today also. When I came home and opened the car door the fresh smell of wild ONIONS was in the air. LOL...not my favorite spring time smell. Love your cute little grand--dog and his pink fetch ball. Happy Pink Saturday Dana. xoxo

J'adore Izzie!! What a fabulous furbaby! Also, may I say The Stone Rabbit looks quite handsome in his top hat & bow tie!
Licks & Wags, Niki

Hi Dana! Izzie is the cutest thing! I know all about picky dogs. My golden retriever, Molly hates having to go out when it snows. My son has to dig her a "rest room" so she'll go out in the winter. Isn't it funny how we'll do things for our pets that we wouldn't do for a human? I love Izzie's pink ball. It definitely suits her! Have a great weekend! Terri

Izzie is such a cute dog, Dana! We had temperatures in the 70's today and I could finally open my windows..it really felt like Spring! I hope it lasts :) Happy Pink Saturday! ♥ Pat

Looks like they had a wonderful time. Too cute.
Posted by: Donnie | March 18, 2011 at 05:36 PM
I love the first of the season fresh cut grass scent too!! My dog will chase any ball covered in mud or whatever and I do mean whatever!! LOL Have a wonderful pink Saturday!!

Looks like the Stone Rabbit is enjoying spring. Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Sarah

We are extremely jealous of your green grass that needs mowing already...well my hubby probably isn't really..:)
We've had a little taste of Spring this week, but they broke then news tonight that winter might be returning this coming week.:P
Oh well, I'll just drop in and look at your green grass.;)
Have a great week, Dana!
Hugs,Lidna

Stone Rabbit, your lucky to be seeing green at your place. We still have snow on the ground and it's my birthday, and it's the first day of Spring tomorrow. Be happy, tell Izzie to let mom throw it where ever she wants to ... I think your pal Izzie is a tad spoiled.
Happy PS all of you.
Love Claudie

Hey - I posted. I wasn't going to but someone noticed! Who woulda thunk??? Well - that Izzy is waaay cute with her pink tennis ball. Back in the old days when I played tennis we used cave bear guts - wait...that was the racket and the ball was white! I'm so happy for you, The Stone Rabbit, Izzy and your Yard Mowing Man that spring has come to your house. Did you see my glass blowing masterpiece over on Facebook? What an experience even though my "flower vase" looks like a big blood clot! Ewww. Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to go see the moon tonight! Love, NancyMoonWatcher

Izzie is extraordinarily photogenic.
Posted by: Carrie | March 19, 2011 at 01:11 PM
Such a darling post. Izzie is very smart about not picking a ball up in the grass. Who knows what dog might have been in it!
Posted by: Terri Steffes | March 19, 2011 at 03:02 PM
Hey Izzy could come to Florida for a day just to get into practice on hot grass! Yup, were in Lakeland, the interior of the state Fri and Sat watching our only princess granddaughter play in her softball tournament. It was HOT mid day let me tell you. My SIL put the tarpy thing overhead so we could sit under "shade". Tell Izzy my granddaughter said, the field was HOT HOT HOT. Think we hit high yesterday! Not one single cloud in the sky and almost no breeze. Life is good and your grass will warm up a littl emore each day. I am rambling.......too much heat! Blessings

Very cute! I loved this...and I really don't blame Izzy at all...I wouldn't like my pink ball with grass and leaves on it either...
