The orange juice jug sits ignored in the back yard.
Stacy has a new favorite toy, the Jolly-Ball. It is a tough rubber ball about 10 inches across with a knotted rope running through a hole in the ball.
Stacy loves to grab the rope and drag the ball around. When she runs, her front legs bounce against the ball, creating a drumming noise. Of course, sometimes she trips over the ball and goes tumbling (which she seems to love).
I enjoy watching her play, and for some unknown reason, I can't help but hear the reggae beat of Jimmy Buffet singing "Jolly-Mon." Of course, I've been rewriting the lyrics a bit ...
Jolly-Ball plays with his puppy every night
People love him well 'cause he wears the puppy out
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly-Ball bounce
Oh oh oh oh, make the puppy pounce
