I release her with "find it!" and off she goes. It's keeping all of us sane.
On a side note: when my DH goes out to snowblow with Gabby, he's learned to put his aftershave on her ball so she can find it in the deep snow. Otherwise, we've learned that the toys get lost in the neighbors yards as he works, and we end up with a pile of her toys by our mailbox when the thaw happens!
