FOUND - LARGE Carter's Starters GREEN FROG

This is one of the old requests that I am trying to catch up with, and David was kind enough to email me. He writes:

Thank you for your help with the search of our Froggy.

I am happy to report that he has been found and we are
very excited to have him home. He was left at a local
shop about four months ago and now he is home.

Thank you very much,
David

I am looking for a green frog that I purchased in 2004 at Babies R Us. It was a Carter's toy, and it was a medium to large sized plush animal. This one did not have any music box or anything inside of it.

My son just turned 4, and it has been missing for a few months. His was the biggest of all and it was probably 15 inches tall or so. He would use his body as a pillow.

Please let me know if you can help,
David

FOUND a Substitute - 80's White MOTHER and BABY LAMB Crib Pull Toy MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

Joanne was able to find a different mother and baby lamb toy that plays the same song, and her daughter seems happy with it.

I'm looking for a crib toy, originally purchased about 10 years ago. It's a stuffed mother ewe and her lamb (both white), connected by a string. The body wasn't really floppy. It was more of a traditional sheep shape (four small legs facing downward).

When you pull them apart, it plays "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and they slowly draw together again. I've trolled the Internet but no luck. I don't remember the brand. :(

Our first child was given the toy as a gift upon his birth. When I had a second child, I passed it down to her. When she grew, I "cleaned house" one day and gave away a lot of stuffed animals to charity. I should have kept that one, even though it was a crib toy. She's been pining away for it and is upset with me for giving it away, so I told her I would search everywhere to see if I can find another.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
Joanne

FOUND - Carter's Just One Year BUNNY with HEARTS ON TUMMY & PURPLE EARS with RATTLE

Marcy's husband found one on eBay!

I am looking for a Carter's First Year Bunny that is white, has multi-colored hearts, lavender ears & paws and a rattle inside. I bought it at Target January, 2007. I think they had one after that w/o the rattle, which is also acceptable. (Marcy has decided to wait for the rattle one and try to get Andi to accept a different lovie in the meantime.)

My husband and I adopted our twins (Alexander and Andi) from Guatemala. I sent this bunny down for Andi when she was 2 months old and requested that I get it back when we picked them up. They've been home for a year now (they're 19 months old), and she has not let that bunny out of her sight since.

I need to find a replacement before it falls apart. I had no idea Carter's changed them out, or I would have bought more at the time. I've been searching on eBay, but haven't seen this exact one.

Thanks again!

Marcy

PLEASE NOTE: Carter's comes out with a new version of their toys every 6 months!

What It FEELS LIKE to SEARCH for a Lost Lovie & to HELP SOMEONE ELSE FIND THEIRS

I was teasing Liza about being such a busy lady while I was thanking her for spending so much time searching for other people's lost lovies, and this was her response:

I have been busy! It really has gotten to me - I mean, it's not only affected my daughter, but I'm just as saddened at losing her Poppy.

I can really feel for both parents and kids whose lives - although others can't see why - really DO get turned upside down when kids lose their loveys. It becomes days and then weeks of this all-consuming desire to both comfort your child, while at the same time beginning the daunting undertaking of finding a replacement.

Helping that man find a replacement for his daughter's bear yesterday made me feel so good. At least I helped one little girl - even if it wasn't my own. I figured, today, since I had a really light day here at work and some free time, I could at least take one day and devote it to looking for lost loveys. Some parents may not have the luxury of free hours to devote to searching.

Hopefully, I was able to help someone else. I hope I did. Again, it makes me feel a little better knowing that losing Poppy, as cheesy as it sounds, wasn't in vain since I ended up helping someone else.

Now back to searching for Poppy!!!!!!!

What Liza is doing is a perfect example of PAYING IT FORWARD!!! If you can help Liza find her child's Poppy , please Contact Us, including #070208-4 in the subject, or Comment Here.

FOUND - Baby GANZ Blue LION with MULTI-COLOR MANE

Praise God that your service was there, and Sammy is currently jumping for joy. He can't wait to get it. His name will be "baby too!"

We will tell everyone about you, and please give our heartwarming thanks to Liza. Tell her we will keep an eye out for the Carter's pink penguin. All our love!!! Serafina

Sammy is 5 years old and has a twin brother Michael. When they were born, they were each given a gift of this Baby Ganz Blue Lion with a colorful mane and tan paws and nose.

It became their special "coochie bear" first, then as they grew older they called it their "baby". They became inseparable until the day that Sammy's disappeared. He was devastated!

The entire house, car and anywhere else we could think of was torn apart and upside down. Still no baby and Sammy is heartbroken. We need another baby for Sammy. Can anyone out there help us out? We have contacted both Baby Ganz and Baby Gund and search eBay daily. We obviously need more help. We pray someone out there can help us find baby for Sammy.

Thanks very much. My email will never change. I hope one day you contact me with good news!!!

FOUND - Carter's YELLOW BEAR with BEAR SLIPPERS

Thanks to Liza, who is searching for a Carter's pink penguin, David now has found his bear!

My daughter lost her "baby" while on a trip to London and Paris. This has been her favorite lovie since birth. It is a yellow bear with a rattle inside and bear faces on the feet.I managed to find a similar one in pink that she refers to as "baby's sister", but it's clearly not an adequate replacement. I've searched eBay and other websites to no avail...

Thanks for your help,

I am looking for a Carter's small brown bear with beans in her bottom. She was about 10-12" with a pink bow around her neck. She was purchased about 7 years ago at Kohl's.

FOUND - STILL AVAILABLE at TARGET - Help Catherine Find One - Carter's Pink Elephant Plays Brahms

Catherine wrote to tell me that family members were able to find a backup in a different Target, plus she did get the one from eBay from a link we sent.

This search should be one that our readers can help with. Catherine says the Prestige Co. has told her it will still be in Target Stores until Dec. While she and all her family and friends can check Target stores nearby, our readers can check everywhere. So, the next time you go to your nearest TARGET STORE, please look for this cute elephant.

I'm looking for a Carter's Just One Year pink plush stuffed elephant that plays Brahms Lullaby.

Since writing you I found ONE. Just one. Can't believe Carter's is discontinuing such a dear and popular pink elephant! There are many similar but this particular one is really in hiding. I did order the one I managed to find and the toy company named Prestige Toy Co. returned my email to say they are only available at Target & they will be gone for good by Dec. 8th.

I have all my friends combing Target stores.
This is a picture of our Ellie that I bought today on Ebay.
Thank you for your help. If you find one I'd only be interested in new or like new condition.

FOUND - Carter's PINK LAMB with FLOWERS

One of our very helpful searchers needs our help!

Hi, I am glad to help anyone I can....I understand the heartache a parent goes through as they watch their child aching for something precious they have lost or is too worn out.

My two year daughter has lost her little lamb recently in our move, and it has never been found. It is pink, around 10" long, and from Carters. It has darker pink flowers on the front and a larger one on top of its head. It has a pink bow around its neck also. It is filled with those plastic pellets and the tag said style #36942.

Her Granny bought it at Sears and I know that it was also sold at Kohls, but has been discontinued as of the fall of 2006. I think it was licensed in 2005. I have checked with Sears, Kohls, and JCPenneys without luck and also eBay. I have also posted an ad on eBay's "I Want it Now" so hopefully someone will see it and contact me.

Thanks again for all you do for everyone and their loved ones!

FOUND - Carter's Light Brown Teddy Bear Wearing PINK PJ's HEARTS

We were able to help Sarah find this bear, and now Cathy needs one. I have copied most of Sarah's description.

I am searching for a Carter's plush bear. It is a brown bear, but has a pink 'pj' on with a fake button on the top.

It has a series of 4 hearts on the left side of it's body (you can sort of see them in the picture). One is solid pink and the other 2 are just outlined in pink, and there is a very small gold heart (just outlined) as well.. It is not a rattle bear. Just stuffed with stuffing.

It also has a pink sewn fake button on the top, like pj's have. There are no slippers on the bear. It's just a pink PJ bear with the hearts on it - pretty plain and simple actually.

My daughter is very attached to hers, and I am afraid she will lose it and I want to have a backup for it. The style number is 48732. Any help will be appreciated.

FOUND - SUGAR LOAF White CAT

I sent the eBay items to Susan that Kar had found, and here's her reply:

Wow, definitely a close match. Her doll was so worn it is difficult to tell for sure. I have purchased the cat and can't wait till it gets here. My husband and I are already thinking up a few stories to tell Scarlett about She-She's adventures. I'll send you a note when she arrives (approx. 1 week) to let you know how it works out. THANKS SO MUCH!

It might be fun to try to help them come up with some stories about where She-She has been. Any Suggestions?????

Lost: White Cat obtained from a Sugar Loaf vending machine approx. 1.5years ago.

While on vacation in Florida, my 3 year old daughter Scarlett lost her best friend, She She. She She slept with her and pretty much went with her everywhere. She She was a gift from a stranger a little over a year ago who had won her from a Sugar Loaf vending machine in our hometown, Pittsburgh.

As soon as we realized she was missing (within a few hours) we went back to the restaurant and retraced our steps with no luck. She She is like a member of our family and definitely my daughter's best friend.

We've tried to contact the vendor and gone back to the vending machine without any luck. This simple stuffed animal brought so much comfort and joy to our daughter. Thanks for any help you can give us in finding a replacement is much appreciated. Unfortunately, we don't have any manufacturing information.

Please help, my 3 year old is devastated.

Thanks!

FOUND - Carter's LITTLE PRINCESS Pink Bunny RATTLE

Kar, one of our helpful readers, suggested that Stephanie might be able to do some "creative sewing" as she put it, on the musical version that was available on eBay and turn it into the rattle.

Stephanie answered: This will do...I don't think she cares about the rattle part. She just misses the sucking her thumb with the ears. THANK YOU!!

FOUND - CARTER'S MY BEST FRIEND Blue Puppy Blankie KNOTTED CORNERS

Shanyn's very excited to report that the last eBay item link I sent her was the correct one. That just leaves Jenny, but I do not have any way to contact her. I'll leave this as Searching, but only for awhile. If I don't hear from Jenny soon I will mark this one as closed, so our helpful searchers won't be wasting their time.

Amber found one on her own, but now two more families are looking for this blankie, but they don't want to spend anywhere near $50 for it. If anyone comes across a less expensive one, or has one to offer, please help Shanyn (She needs one that DOES NOT have the white satin lining.)and Jenny out!

I'm looking for a Carter's My Best Friend Puppy Rattle/Blanket. It's blue and says My Best Friend on the blanket part and also has knotted corners. I received it at a baby shower in Dec 2006.

My son loves it! He chews on the knotted corners and sleeps with it every night. I'm looking for a back-up, in case ours gets lost, & also to give him when I'm washing the first one (he takes it outside with him.. haha). I saw where someone found one on your site (3/28/08) and was hoping someone out there had another one! I've only found 1 on eBay so far.

Thanks for your help! Great site!

FOUND but Searching Again for Michelle - Carter's Prestige BLUE SPOTTED Puppy NOT Musical

One of our readers has sent me this helpful information about this puppy:

I too was looking for this and ended up buying 2 musical ones and 1 not musical. My son actually prefers the musical one now. Anyway, I got the little one at the Carter Outlet Store in Las Vegas and there was still one available. Also there was one available in California.

I am looking for this Carter's plush puppy that is actually already listed on this site. If you could help me find this it would be great. I have spent countless hours looking for one. The one that my son has is falling apart and he can't do ANYTHING without it.

Also, I don't know if that posting is for the musical one or not. We need the one that does NOT play music.

Thanks for any help that you can offer in finding this.
Ashley

I decided to post this request again, because I have not been able to reach the families who asked for help finding this puppy. Please do not ask for help as Anonymous, and leave me no way of contacting you. It's very frustrating.

FOUND - GUND Jiggles FROG

Thanks to one of our great readers, who found two Jiggles in her basement and contacted me. I sent Caren her email address, and the Jiggles have been sent. Yes, folks ... that's the way it's supposed to work!!! And here's the great ending to this story:

Julie and Rosemary:

I received “Mr. Froggy” from Julie (along with an EXTRA!!) only days after my initial email contact with her. I am truly astounded by her generosity and thoughtfulness in sending this to us so quickly. And the fact that she paid for the shipping and didn’t charge me a penny is remarkable. I have no words.

We hid Mr. Froggy in my son’s room and he was absolutely delighted and amazed to find him. It has been a couple weeks now, and he still cannot believe he has Mr. Froggy back. My husband now tells him stories about “The Adventures of Mr. Froggy” about the things Mr. Froggy did while he was “lost.”

Thank you so very much!!
Caren

Not everyone can help a family at no charge. If you find one of our lost lovies posted here, please don't think that your help is not wanted if you ask for payment and/or shipping charges.

We are in need of finding Baby Gund Jiggles Frog, item number 5767, which is discontinued.

We lost “Mr. Froggy” on a trip to North Carolina. Our son took him everywhere. We found one that was recently sold on eBay and were very frustrated that we had just missed the bidding on it. Do you have one, or would you be able to locate one?

FOUND - PEEK A BOO PANDA Magnetic Hands & Eyes

I am looking for a Panda Bear, about 7 inches high plush toy. It has a white head with 2 large black eyes, a red nose, and black smiley lips. (maybe made by Fisher Price ? )

The feet are red and green, the arms are purple, and there are black spots on his tummy.

Can you tell I had to do some creative editing to get the photo?

It has magnets in the paws and inside the eyes to play peek-a-boo. My grand-daughter lost hers about 2-3 years ago. It means a lot to us. Please help this Grandma.

Thank you :)

FOUND - PINK PUPPY Lost in Hospital HELP!!!!!!!

July 2, 2008 - I thought you might like to hear an update on Avey's condition. Amy writes:

She’s doing MUCH better – out of the hospital and just taking some more meds. I so appreciate you checking in on her!

I spotted Jay while searching for a different pink puppy. Hers is a Baby GUND My First Puppy, in case anyone else needs to search for this dog.

Jay goes everywhere with Avey. He’s been to the park, to the grocery store and, very recently, and to the Starlite office (where two real-life puppies almost gave Jay a trip directly to Puppy Heaven).
..
Anyway, when the nurses came to change the sheets on Avey’s hospital bed last night, they apparently rolled Jay up and took him off to The Place Dirty Hospital Sheets Go...

Avey has been told that Jay is taking a ride through the hospital to visit all the other sick little girls and boys...

My daughter lost her beloved "pinky bear" which was actually an old Mary Meyer "It's a Girl" bear from 2002. She lost it at the Carousel Park in Saint Augustine Florida. We ordered the new one but it's not the same die lot and my daughter is just devastated and misses her "Pinky" very much.

FOUND - Carter's FLUFFY FRIENDS DUCK RATTLE Plastic Ring & Clip

Colette emailed us. Thank you so much for all your help in trying to locate a replacement for my sons lost toy. My sister in law has located a replacement of the exact same toy my son lost. She found it on eBay and my son should have it by tomorrow. Thanks again. I will keep watching your website to see if there is someone that I might be able to help. We're glad she was able to find it, and certainly appreciate all the extra pairs of eyes looking for all these lost lovies!

My 6 month old son has lost his favorite plush Carter's toy, and I am afraid that it has been discontinued. It was a stroller hang on a plush duckie that had a ring around the outside of it with to tiny colored rings around the big ring on each side of the duckie's feet.

In the middle was a clear ball that had beads in it that made a really neat rattling noise. You have a hippo on your Carter's toy pages that is the exact same concept as what I am trying to find. I would be interested in the ducky and maybe the hippo as a back up. My son has been cranky since he has lost it, and I think he really misses it. Please let me know if you can help. I have scoured the internet and called all the stores that carry Carter's toys and have had no luck, but have found hope with hitting upon your site.

Thank you,
Colette

FOUND - Blankets and Beyond MINKY DOTS BLANKIE

I did find one on eBay, but the price was too high for them. So, I will leave this in Searching. Hopefully, somebody will see this who has one stuck back somewhere or find one at a yard sale.

And it worked out just that way!!

Here's Natalie's reply to my email trying to figure out what she still needed for her twins, after I connected her with Corrie, who wrote to tell me she had one her child was not attached to!

I knew it would be a little confusing, sorry. I had two styles - one for each girl. Charlotte originally lost her blanky (aqua minky dots), and you helped me locate two blankies on eBay. One was similar and the other was exactly the same as the one she lost selling for $39. This particular ebay store ALSO happened to be carrying the exact same blanky style that Amelia has (she never lost hers) also selling for $39. After contemplating spending $80 for two blankys, I bought the similar looking blanky for Charlotte @ another ebay store, for two reasons. #1 it was cheaper, #2 I saw a few listed on eBay so I knew if she took to it--I could easily buy a back-up.

Well, Charlotte hesitated at first-- now after about 3 weeks she loves her "new" but similar blankie (it has a little doggy head attached). Last night I bought back-up for Charlotte of the new/similar blankie with doggy head attached AND I contacted the woman from the email you forwarded to me yesterday.

After learning the hard way I started searching for a back-up blankie for Amelia. The only one I found was at the eBay store you emailed me originally that listed Charlotte's aqua minky dot style for $39. I contacted the woman and I was able to buy a back-up which is "the exact same style" as Amelia's blankie for $33 with s/h.

So the final score:
Amelia ---one original lovey blanky and an exact back-up for emergency case
Charlotte ---one new/similar blanky and one back-up on its way + the original blanky aqua minky dots I desperately searched for from the beginning, hopefully on its way from a KIND Mommy who read your post - who has one her daughter is not using.
Mommy ---penniless but happy she'll have some peace of mind with back-up blankies for sanity sake!

Wish me Luck!
Natalie

GREAT STORY!!!When they are older you will have to share this story with your girls, for sure, Natalie!!

I'm desperately searching for my daughter's lost blankie. It was lost on 4-9-08 in Poughkeepsie Area in Dutchess, NY. I went back to the two stops we made, Target and HSBC bank, with no luck.

The blanket was made by a company called Blankets and Beyond in Montreal, CA. I purchased it from my local Wal-Mart in Sept. of 2007. It is a 14"x16" blankie with Minky Aqua Dot fabric and Disco Dot Satin fabric on the reverse. The minky side has a 2" satin border. I've searched eBay and Wal-mart with no luck. Unfortunately, I can't find the company who made it either. Please help us locate another, my daughter has had it since she was 6 months old and uses it for sleep, comfort and naps.

Her twin sister is now suffering too, because I now have to hide hers so they won't fight over it.

Thanks and God Bless,
Natalie

I FOUND IT!!! Rosa sent this today: Rosemary I got it!! It is the same. I am going to wash it a couple of time so he looks like the old one a bit. Thanks so much. You are an angel - Big Hugs,
Rosa

Want to see the photos of the Louis reunion?

In case anyone else needs this TY monkey, his name is Digits and there were several on eBay not long ago.

This is Louis. When my autistic son went to boarding school, he was going through a rough time. Being away from home was not what he wanted.

My mother told him she would send him (from Venezuela) a roommate, a friend to go to school with, and I got this monkey from a Hallmark store here in NYC, and we pretended she sent it. She named him after my brother, who is the clown in the family.

The bad day and ended up pulling Louis' legs off. I doubt I can fix it. I would rather try to get him another one. Actually, I should get a couple of them, however I can't find him anywhere. He is around 18 inches long from head to toes and comes naked (no sweater) not just for my son, but for his now ex-roommate that feels very bad every time he sees him and just keeps apologizing.

We told him we'll send Louis to the shop to be fixed, so I need you to please keep and eye for me on any Hallmark store in your area and of course I will pay for Louis and shipping, BTW I don't have a serial # or anything because he was supposed to come from Venezuela, so I removed the tag before boxing it for him.

Thanks to you all in advance hugs,
Rosa

If you can help Rosa find this special brown monkey, please Contact Us, including #051908-1 in the subject, or Comment Here.

I sent Rosa a link to a TY Digits Monkey, and she ordered it. Hopefully, it will be the correct one, or at least her son will accept it as Louis' "cousin."

FOUND - DanDee Light BROWN RABBIT Holding BASKETBALL

They are looking for a light BROWN bunny - this was just the best I could do with editing the photo! Sorry!!

It all worked out for the best, though. The "white" bunny I found to fake the light brown one turned out to be the exact light brown one they needed! Grace emailed the seller from the link I sent her, and she found out the seller's photo was too light.

I am looking for a Dan Dee Collectors Choice Soft Expressions Plush Brown Bunny holdinga a Basketball. We lost our original one at Disneyland and fortunately for us, my niece had a friend with one. It is now as tattered as the original one, so we are trying to find a few for back up. Many thanks for providing such a great service.

FOUND - First Moments MOMMY'S LITTLE ANGEL WHITE Bunny PINK Security Blankie

I am looking for a pink bunny security blanket. It has a white head and the ears stand straight up. It has a pink plaid bow-tie and pink satin edges. It has "Mommy's Little Angel" written on it. Two little rabbit hands were also attached. I bought it at Kohl's in the spring of 2004.

We received the First Moments bunny right before my daughter was born. She loved it so much; she took it everywhere. But, between all of our traveling to grandparents houses, we must have lost it. I have been searching for nearly 3 years to find another one, but have been unsuccessful. Just recently, though, I found someone who just sold one. (That is where I found the pictures). I would do anything to get another one for my daughter. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for helping. Charlotte

FOUND - MOTHERCARE Light Brown TEDDY BEAR

Ian is looking for this same Mothercare bear. Hopefully somebody can help him out, too! He was able to find one in Madrid!!!

I too am looking for a teddy the same as the picture. As Mothercare no longer sell this model I hope someone can help me obtain one either tan colored or light brown like in the picture.

On the 22th Dec., my DH and our two sons were in the airport for the 7.30am flight to Budapest. (gate B22) Everything went fine until we were seated on the plane and suddenly realized that my 4 year old son's favorite teddy had been left behind. We had left it at the gate and couldn't go back to find it. To say he has been pining for it since is huge understatement.

He chose that teddy in Mothercare when he was 10 months old and slept with it every night since. I tried lost property in the airport and at the service air desk but no luck. I tried Mothercare, but the line has been discontinued. I don't know what to do at this stage except appeal to you all.

If someone picked up the bear for safekeeping we would greatly appreciate his safe return.

Also, if you have this brown, abt.12 inches long, teddy bear from Mothercare that your kids do not use anymore, please get in touch with me, as it my be the lookalike of the one my son lost.

Thank you very much in advance.

FOUND - White Rabbit / Pink Satin Blankie LOST at FIREWHEEL MALL

Amanda was nice enough to let me know that she had found the blankie on her own.

We lost my daughter's favorite blankie. It is approximately 12x12 and is a white bunny head attached to the center of a pink blanket. The underside of the blanket is a pink satin material. The trim is white satin. The eyes and nose are pink stiched thread. We are 99% sure this was lost at Best Buy Firewheel Mall (75040) on April 30, 2008 between 5:30pm-7pm.

Please help us if you know where this important blankie can be found. Thanks again.

FOUND - Carter's Light Brown Teddy Bear Wearing PINK PJ's HEARTS

I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for posting my plea on your website. After only a month of having my plea out there, an anonymous person (Tami) FOUND Bear on Ebay! I have been searching for months, but could not find Bear!
If it wasn't for your Blog, we would still be searching!
I truly appreciate your help! I will continue to check your site and assist others in finding their lost treasures!
I can't wait to receive Bear and show my daughter!
God Bless!
Sarah

Hi! I am searching for a Carter's plush bear. It is a brown bear, but has a pink 'pj' on with a fake button on the top.

It has a series of 4 hearts on the left side of it's body (you can sort of see them in the picture). One is solid pink and the other 2 are just outlined in pink, and there is a very small gold heart (just outlined) as well.. It is not a rattle bear. Just stuffed with stuffing.

It also has a pink sewn fake button on the top, like pj's have. There are no slippers on the bear. It's just a pink PJ bear with the hearts on it - pretty plain and simple actually.

I have found a style # for the Bear! It's a Carters made in 2005, and the style # is 48732. Hope that helps!

The reason I am looking for it is because I can't find it at any retail store (Babies R Us, Target, Burlington Coat Factory). I have searched online for about 2 months now and can't track it anywhere. It was given to her as a gift at my baby shower a year ago January. She is EXTREMELY attached to this bear. It goes everywhere with us. She sleeps with it, eats with it....it provides great comfort for her. I am very afraid of losing it. That is why I want to get another one. So that I have 2 just in case.

I SO appreciate you looking for it!

Thanks!!!
Sarah

FOUND - Carter's LITTLE PRINCESS PINK Bunny Blankie / GREEN SATIN

I am looking for a Carter's security blanket from the Fall of 2005. It is a pink bunny with green silk on the inside. The head has a rattle, and it says "Little Princess" on the bottom.

My 2 year old is very attached to the blanket since she was 6 months old, and they had stopped making it then. She won't sleep without it, and hers is getting a bit old.

Thanks,
Mona

There are several of these blankies on eBay right now, but all of them are more than $50.

A Wonderful Story of a LOST LOVEY FOUND!!!

When I started this blog I hoped we could help parents help each other by providing a place for them to share photos and stories about the lost and bedraggled animals and dolls their precious children were grieving over. I hoped adults could use our site to get help finding special toys from their own childhoods, too.

When we get emails like these, I know it WORKS! And the time we spend and readers like Tami and Danielle spend making this site work is well worth it.

Hello! First..I am a true believer of your site and search it frequently in hopes of helping a child/family if possible. I believe I am able today to reunite a sad little girl with her most beloved doggie friend who was lost in a move!

While shopping at a local Amvets today..I came across this floppy fellow..and he looked familiar. When I did a "dog" search on your site...behold..there he was!

I am having a bit of a bad day today..so will you give me the chance to at least make someone else's day!! :) the number of the search is #022608-1 I thank you very much!! I am a pediatric cancer nurse..so I understand the importance of such objects..every Wednesday..I go "lovey" searching for my daughter, my patients, or for anyone who could use a friend! (It's darn good therapy for me too!) Please have this mom email me..and have a great day yourself!

Sincerely,
Danielle

We got Meg's Doe Doe in the mail last night! It is the exact same one. I am so thankful for your website. I felt that asking for help to find the Doe Doe was a shot in the dark, but I was desperate for help.

A wonderful woman named Danielle visits your site and tries to keep her eyes open as she shops around. She found an exact replica of the Doe Doe at one of her local stores and bought him for us. She contacted us and sent us pictures to confirm it was the right one. Danielle and her daughter Honour sent her priority mail to Meg. Honour made a card for Meg that was so sweet.

We gave the Doe Doe to Meg, and it was the sweetest reunion. First we gave Meg Honour's card and explained that another very nice girl had found her Doe Doe.
Meg's eyes got really wide and she said, "Is my Doe Doe in that box?" That is when we let her open the box.

She kept hugging the Doe Doe and jumping around. Meg (who is almost 4 and thinks she is a princess) kept saying "Oh, Doe Doe, I can't believe we lived happily ever after." She also told me that she was so happy because now she didn't need to cry anymore. She hasn't put her Doe Doe down since.

I can't tell you happy she is. My husband and I are overwhelmed by how wonderfully this has turned out.

Thank you for all the time and energy you spend running this site. It is truly a miracle for us. Thank you very much.

We will be frequent visitors of your site in hopes that we can help in another reunion for someone else.

FOUND - Brown Shaggy MONKEY LOVIE

My 2 year old son has lost his beloved security monkey. He is heartbroken. We have posted flyers around our neighborhood. We bought it at Toys R Us 2 1/2 years ago. They say they do not remember this item and are of no help. We are desperate.

FOUND - Carter's? CUDDLE ME Pink RABBIT Plays Music

I LUV your site. It is a God Send. I really hope you can help. I need to have a back up of my daughter's (prob almost 4 yr old) pink stuffed bunny.

I THINK it's Carter's but not sure. It is velvety, has a pink bow around neck, has "Cuddle Me" embroidered on his chest with a li'l bunny and used to play music when you pulled the white plastic handle between his legs.

I am SO hoping you may have one or can point me in the right direction. We went into Manhattan last night to see the Little Mermaid on Broadway and she dropped it in the aisle. THANK GOD a lady chased us down and we got it back, but I am PETRIFIED she may loose it. She has had it since birth and cannot sleep if it is in washing machine or not in her arms.
Thank You,
Steve

FOUND - Very Hard to Find LARGE WHITE PUFFALUMP LAMB

Greg wrote to me not long ago, and I wanted to share this happy ending with you.

I am looking for a White Puffalump Lamb, Fisher Price #8009, My girlfriend has had it since a few months after she was born, and her sister's dog shredded what was left of it last week. It would mean a lot to her if she could get another.

Knowing this is a very hard to find lamb, I wrote back, telling him not to get his hopes up. As I always do, I spent some time searching for this lovey, and was surprised to actually find one for sale on eBay. Granted, it was not cheap, but Greg did get my urgent email telling him where he could find it. He's written back with this happy conclusion:

My name is Greg, and you were able to direct me to a vintage 1986 Puffalump Lamb on e-bay. I just wanted to let you know that I won the auction, and the Lamb has been given to my girlfriend. It is exactly like the one she has had since her birth that was destroyed recently.

When I gave it to her she just stared at it for about 30 seconds in silence, stunned. Then spent a good while squeezing it, and crying because she was so happy. It means more to her than just about anything I can imagine. I just thought you might want to know how wonderfully happy you helped make a very special person. Thank you so very much. I hope your business does very well. Anyone I know who might be able to use your site, I will refer in a heartbeat.

Thanks Again,
Greg

I really appreciate Greg taking the time to tell me how happy his girlfriend was.

I wanted all you dear folks to know that I really do try hard to help each and every one of you. Our Search Service averages over a thousand readers a week, and my inbox fills up every day with requests for help. We do sell plush toys, so sometimes we have the item in stock people are looking for, and occasionally we make an immediate sale.

Usually I can find one or two lovies on the Internet the first day I get the email, simply because I have learned from experience how to search for plush toys. And I find even more within a few days. So a lot of toys are found, such as Greg's, without anything showing up on this blog at all.

Right now I have about 75 or so requests that I have emailed the person, asking for more information or a photo, and for most of those I have already done an initial search on the Internet. There are about 50 requests that are ready to post as soon as I can get time to do it, some with good photos, and some with poor ones that I have tried to edit into presentable condition.

Lately we have had several requests asking if we make a certain toy. No, we do not make the toys, only find them. We can, however, suggest that families contact two ladies who are quite skilled at making replicas, Susan and Hanna. Their links are on the sidebar.

We get lots of emails from folks wanting to know how the posting works.

I have our email address hidden in a Contact form, so we do not get flooded with spam. I also try to protect the email addresses of the people writing to us. We value our privacy and yours!

There is no way for a reader to directly post a photo, although some do write their requests in a comment. That's fine, but for the best results you need to Contact Us with a complete description and a brief story about why you are looking for the item. I will get back to you as soon as possible, so you can send the photos by reply email.

FOUND but Still SEARCHING - CRACKER BARREL Tan Monkey HOLES in NOSE, MOUTH, EARS for FINGERS & TOES

There have been several people asking for more information about this monkey. His name is Rutherford III, and he was made by RUSS, Item #601 (TP-14).

I am looking for a tan colored stuff monkey ( small /medium size) that was sold in Cracker Barrel stores in the early 1980's. It had holes in its nose, mouth and ears that you could stick its fingers and toes in. It was my favorite toy, and it has been misplaced after all these years. I do not know the name brand, nor do I have a picture of it. If anyone can help me locate this monkey, please let me know.
Thanks!

FOUND - CARTER'S MY BEST FRIEND BLUE DOG

I sent a link to for one for sale, and then forwarded a reader's email saying they had one they would offer to Christine, but I never heard back from her. Since the emails did not bounce, I have to assume that they were deleted as spam. If you want our help, please do whatever you have to do to make sure you get emails from dirtybutter.com!

We lost our 3 yr old's "FAVORITE" blue snuggle doggie made by Carter's. It is light blue with a white head and originally had a rattle/jingle in it. Anyone that my have this dog or can get me one I would graciously love to hear from you. He just cries for it...it also says "my best friend" on the front of his chest.

Please help me! Thanks a lot....Christine

FOUND - CARTER'S VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR

Thanks to several emails and posts by our readers, Katy won her caterpillar on eBay.

We have two emails offering a source for this lovey, so contact us if you are searching for this Hungry Caterpillar!

I am looking for a Carter's Very Hungry Caterpillar from about 2004. It's probably about 12-18 inches long when stretched out, and I think it may originally have had a bell or a squeaky in the first segment.

The picture is one from when he was much newer and more colorful! He is my son’s constant companion and is absolutely threadbare at this point.

I would LOVE to find one!

FOUND - CARTER'S BEAR Wearing a LAVENDER Sleeper / LONG STOCKING CAP "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"

I am looking for a Carter's purple bear with a long night cap. It says "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" on it.

It came with the blanket as a set, and I know it also came in other colors. I don't think the color matters - I also don't care if it comes with the blanket.

My daughter loves the bear, and nothing else has seemed to take its place.

Thanks for looking,

GO GO BEANS the MONKEY Travels the World & COMES HOME!

Yes, the internet can be a dangerous place, and I constantly caution our children to be careful how they let our grandchildren use it. But the internet is also full of wonderfully loving and thoughtful people who will go out of their way to help someone they have never met, and never will meet.


The story of Go Go Beans the Monkey is a story of the hundreds of online angels who helped to make this precious story possible.


I invite you to read the almost two year saga of this monkey - from being left on an airplane, to sending postcards to Noah as he traveled around the world, to being found and sent on his way back to one precious little boy - who never lost faith that Monkey Monkey Go Go Pork 'N' Beans would return home. To get the full impact of this story, you need to read all the comments, too!

I'm Celebrating Today!!

We received my daughter's monkey today. It was perfect. The look of surprise and happiness on my daughter's face was absolutely priceless. I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work in finding this for me. I have already told everyone I know about your service, and I am sure you will be hearing from some of them.

Thank you so much.

There is a lot of time involved in keeping this search service going, but an outcome like this makes it all worthwhile.

FOUND - Carter's ROCK a BYE BABY BROWN BEAR Green Shirt

That’s it! It appears that the music box has been switched out from Rock-a-Bye Baby to Brahms’ Lullaby, but hopefully she’ll accept the new music since the bear itself is identical to the (very dirty and worn) one she has.

Haddie and I want to send thanks to Tami for alerting us of the Kohl’s website and to you for offering this wonderful service!

Best,
Stephanie and Hadley

I'm looking for a back-up lovey for my daughter. It's a Carter's Musical Crib Toy Bear, purchased at Toys R Us right before Easter 2007. The music box is in the body (not the head as many currently are.

The bear is brown plush with a mint green plush shirt, as well as mint green plush inside its ears and on the bottom of its paws.

It has a yellow satin ribbon around its neck and says "baby" on the front of its green shirt. On the tag it lists "Style #8540". It plays Rock-a-Bye Baby when you pull the string.

FOUND - Carter's MY BEST FRIEND BLUE DOG BLANKIE

One of our readers wrote to tell me she had two of these blankies that her child was not interested in, and she sent them off to Susan without charge! This is exactly what I had hoped would happen when I started this Search Service two years ago. Thanks, Jeanine!!!!

We have lost a Carter's baby blue dog head blanket rattle. It has a blue patch over one eye and the words My Best Friend embroidered on it with a brown paw. My son doesn't go anywhere without it. Please help us find one.

These blankies are on eBay at this time, but the price is just more than Susan wants to pay to get one. If you see one, or can sell her one, for less than $40.00, please let us know.

FOUND - Kid's Preferred BLUE & WHITE PUPPY DOG with Baseball Style STITCHING

Hi! I am looking for a plush blue puppy dog with a white tummy and patch around his eye. It also has white "baseball" stitching.

I think it was sold at Wal-Mart. We got it as a shower gift in February, 2006. My son is in LOVE with this "baby", and the dog is starting to look really worn. I'd love to find one now before he falls to pieces!!

Thanks!

FOUND - Wal-Mart Large BROWN CHENILLE DOG with WHITE on FACE

My little girl lost her beloved stuffed bear/dog in a move. We have searched and called everywhere. I am really hoping that someone has one. It was purchased from Wal-mart in November/December of 2004.

One picture shows a little better what it looked like new, which hopefully someone has. The one that is more tattered looking is a picture from right before we lost it. It has been a few months now and she still cries 2-3 times a week for it. My husband and I have tried everything. I would be so happy if this works.

Thanks,
Heather

FOUND - Large GREEN & YELLOW FROG - KELLYTOY

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taddy was indeed found. When the frog came in the mail this weekend we were a little unsure of how to give it back to him because his original frog was missing an eye and this one was so new and clean.

So we decided to just leave the frog on the floor to see if he would recognize it. We called him downstairs and as soon as he saw Taddy his eyes lighted up and the look on his face was priceless. At last his friend came home. He ran to it and instantly called him Taddy. Everything was right in his world again.

I am so glad I came across your site when I was combing the Internet for the frog. Your help is very much appreciated. And a BIG THANK YOU to the person who found it on ebay!

I am desperately looking for a green stuffed frog that came from a crane machine at Kroger's. It is a KellyToy frog.

We won it for our nephew, Kairu, and it became his best friend. He does everything with him and refuses to sleep without his Taddy. On a trip to the grocery store Taddy was lost. We've been looking everywhere to replace him, but cannot find it.

Could you please help?
Thank you.

FOUND - Carter's Just One Year BRAHMS' LULLABY Blue Crib Dog with SPOTS

Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me find my 20 month old son's ''bear''. It is actually a blue puppy musical crib toy made by "Just one year" by Carter's. I bought it in late 05/06 at Target, and he's had it since he was born.

He still has one, and it's in OK condition, but its musical pull handle broke off, and after being washed, it no longer plays music...which is what helps him sleep. The other problem is, there are TWO versions of this bear. One plays Brahms Lullaby, which is what we need (the other plays Rock a Bye Baby, I think).


If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Lost Toy FOUND - Is It YOURS? East Lansing, MICHIGAN

I found in a parking lot in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, sometime around Thanksgiving last November 2007, a small child's toy that I'm sure some sad child is looking for. I put an ad in the paper but no response.

It is a kitty cat in a small plastic cat carrier. The label on the plastic-faced, plush body of the cat says TalentToy Factory Limited. The kitty is brown and beige with a blue collar and the carrier is purple on top, pink on the bottom and has a yellow door (with a heart shape on it) and a yellow handle. It is approximately 6 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches by 3 3/4 inches.

I found it by Sindhu restaurant in Hannah Plaza.

FOUND - He's a PLAYSKOOL BEAR FRIENDS DOLL!

I should have known that Kimberly would know what this bear was! Thanks to her, I now know that this is a Playskool Bear Friends doll from either the late 80's or early 90's.

We have him listed on eBay right now. I wonder if any of our readers ever had this doll as a child.

Thanks so much for your help, Kimberly. "You're the Best" certainly fits YOU!

Wonderfully Happy Ending to Our Search for the Yellow "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE" Elephant!!!!

We have several people who are looking for this particular elephant, but this has to be one of the best stories anybody could imagine. You will have to go back and read the original request now, before you read the ending.

One of our readers told me when the elephant went on eBay, and I wrote Greg. He won it! I wrote him yesterday, to find out how Christmas turned out, and here's his reply:

Rosemary, it went better than I could have ever hoped! We put the kids to bed, and put all the Christmas presents under the tree. When we were finally ready to go to bed, I waited until she left the room to change.

I put it under the tree and wound it up. She came into the room, stopped, tried to find out where the sound was coming from. When she approached the tree and picked it up, she couldn't believe what she had in her hands!

As she turned around, I was standing there with the ring, and asked her to marry me! I think she was overloaded and didn't know what to do! She immediately threw her arms around me and muttered a teary "YES!!". It melted my heart to see her happy, and that entire week she broke into tears at the drop of a hat. :)

I'm certain that I've found the person I was meant to be with forever.

Thanks again for all your help in creating a lifetime memory for my soon-to-be wife and I to cherish forever.

Love,
Greg

FOUND a "Replacement" - Dan Dee GRAY ELEPHANT and GREEN & YELLOW FROG

I sent Donna links to several frogs and elephants, but none of them were exactly the one. So, Donna wrote me -

Since we could not find another Froggy or Ellie, we were able to switch to a black puppy (which I bought multiples of). Thank you for trying to help.

I am looking for a DanDee plush frog and elephant. They were sold last year at Walmart, but they don't carry them anymore. I am looking for replacements for my son's rather ratty-looking "loveys" so they need to be like new and very clean.

FOUND - FRIENDZIES Yellow DUCK

Hi, I'm desperately searching a Friendzies stuffed yellow duck that came from a Marshall Fields store in 2004. It is medium sized with a bright yellow body and orange feet and beak. It came new with a Gingham bow. I think the 2003 model is the same, but with an orange bow.

Please help if you can. It was my daughter's best friend.

FOUND - WANDA ELEPHANT Manhattan Toy Co.

WOW! Great news on this one, friends!! I received an email today from the CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. OF MANHATTAN TOYS. Sandee writes to tell me that, "Our web manager happened to stumble across the blog and e-mailed me the request. I searched through our archives and found one."

I've already written Lisa and forwarded the Manhattan Co. email to her. This is her reply:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are going to make one little boy named Grayson and his mommy very happy. We lost our small Wanda back in November. I have been doing everything to locate a new one. This included contacting Manhattan Toy and searching European websites! You must be magical, because I just contacted Manhattan Toy and purchased one small Wanda!

Did I say Thank you! :}

Lisa

We read so often where parents have tried contacting the companies directly, with no luck. Most won't even bother to help at all. And here, this company went to the trouble to help this family!! I suspect the msnbc.com feature has something to do with my "magic." LOL!!!

HOORAY for MANHATTAN TOY CO.!!

I am looking for a small Wanda Elephant made by Manhattan Toy Company. I tried the Maximacenter website several months ago, and they didn't have them (apparently they still have not updated their site!). It is my understanding that Manhattan Toy has quit making this line of plush.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

FOUND - CUDDLEZONE BROWN CHIMP / MONKEY from TARGET - Thanks, TAMI!!!

If you read the comments on this post, you will get to follow a great story. One of our frequent readers and helpers, Tami, saw Mr. Go Go Beans on eBay and put the information in a comment here. We were not home today, so I didn't email Stacey with the link, the way I normally would have. Stacey sees the comment - did somebody who knows her let her know? I have no idea how she knew, but she bought it, and came back here to thank Tami for her help!
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, folks.

My son, just before his 3rd birthday, lost his best friend, Monkey Monkey Go Go Pork 'N' Beans. He named him that several months prior, and the monkey had become the centralized character to all of his bedtime stories.

Go Go Beans, as we nicknamed him, was left on an airplane. On the hour-long car trip away from the Denver airport, I realized the monkey was missing. Our In-Laws wouldn't turn around on our midnight journey, so the first thing I did when we got to their home was to call and fill out a missing-item report. 2nd was to look on eBay to see if there was another available. That was in September of 2006, and I have been looking on eBay at least once a week ever since.

Noah didn't notice that Go Go Beans was missing at first. We attempted to distract him with the wiles of being on vacation. Once we got home, we were heading out on a road trip to an improv festival. On the way out the door he said, "Don't forget Go Go Beans!" We sat him down. He cried. A lot. We explained that Go Go Beans stayed on the airplane, because he had so much fun, and that hopefully he'd see the world and then come home soon.

Noah asked to write a letter to him. He dictated and I wrote and drew pictures at his request.

"Dear Go Go Beans,
We want to give you a birthday. (He had me draw a cake with two candles) I hope you're having fun on the airplane. I miss you and I miss you on the airplane. Plane. And I miss you on the ride of the airplane. And I love you *SO* much.
Candles. Birthday Cake. Happy Birthday Go Go Beans. Clock. Email us, please. Trees. Mountains. Milk. Buttermilk and chocolate milk. Regular milk. Frog and Giraffe miss you. I miss Go Go Beans. I want you to come home soon. "Tell him that I miss you." Milk. Frog and Giraffe and now candlesticks.

Love,
Noah"

After talking with Target (the parent company that made the original monkey), and their unwillingness to help, I turned to the internet.

I posted the letter to a general discussion section of the Etsy.com forums 10 days before his 3rd birthday. I wanted to know if a few people would send a post card from Go Go Beans.

As of right now, (January of 2008) we have more than 150 post cards from not only around the country, but from around the world - France, Kuwait, York, Australia, Germany to name a few. People have sent stuffed animal friends that Go Go Beans sent back along the way, they've sent artwork, newspapers, magnets, stationary and more. And with all of the many post-cards sent by complete strangers drawn to the story, we have no way of thanking them. We just know that this little boy is thrilled for their kindness.

And while we're still looking for the real Go Go Beans (yes, weekly on eBay) my little guy is excited anytime a post card arrives in the mail. He's 4 now, and can't read just yet, but he knows anytime we get anything in the mail, whether it be a box or a letter or post card, he shouts "Its from Go Go Beans!" and his little heart bursts into delight, instead of tears.

FOUND - Carter's LITTLE PRINCE BLUE BEAR Twinkle Twinkle PULL CRIB TOY

I am looking for a Carter's bear that was made in 2005 - it is made of quartered blue panels of two different very soft feeling fabric, with the words "Little Prince" embroidered on the chest. It also has a tail that, when pulled, plays "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Any help in getting another one would be greatly appreciated; and I am willing to pay a reasonable price to obtain it.

(Hopefully) thanks in advance!

I found this one right off the bat and sent Susan the links to two of them. This was her reply ;).

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Yes, it is! I have just finished setting up payment for it! It is my son's *only* 'lovey' (though he has plenty of stuffies, nothing else compares.) The one he has is getting quite beat up as he is an active little boy; and I have been, well, 'terrified' that when it stopped working, or broke, or anything happened to it, he would be inconsolable. I have been searching the internet for a while now - I don't know how you do your magic, but I am *so* glad you have your magic keyboard!

Thank you again!,
*Susan

Hi Rosemary,
I actually called them, and they don't have it. And also I called the manufacturer, and they told me they stop making certain items every six months, and that I won't find it in stores.

I was kind of just hoping maybe I would find one in either a second hand or something like eBay where someone might still be selling one they never used or something. Just to try to make my son happy I bought a Carter's blanket that is made with the same material, hoping he will fall in love with something else...Thanks for your help,
Crystle

Well, I'm not ready to mark this one FOUND just yet, since she really hasn't found it, only kind of given up. SOMEBODY has one of these blankets they would be glad to give or sell to her!!!

FOUND - ANIMAL ADVENTURE PURPLE DUCK

Hello, I am the mother of a beautiful little girl who needs her best friend replaced. Her friend is a purple toy stuffed duck from Animal Adventure. I went to their website and was sad to find out that you can not simply order a replacement duck. They only sell to retailers. Please if anyone knows where I can find one.

You see her poor little duck is in bad shape. I actually tried to throw it away and had purchased a yellow duck. She threw it down and actually went and got her duck from the trash.

It has to be exactly the same. I would really appreciate any help. She has had the duck since birth.

I purchased it at Krogers, but have not seen one since 2005, when I bought the original.

It's definitely not fluffy or plush.

FOUND - CARTER'S Just One Year Musical PINK with Purple Flowers BUNNY

*This bunny was run over in traffic, so it may not look exactly like one in better condition.

I am looking for a pink bunny. It is made by Carter's Just One Year. I purchased the bunny in the Spring of 2006. It is about 11 inches tall, pink with purple flowers on it. It has a musical pull on the back.

Please, I really need another one...

Thanks so much,
Jessica

Jessica is not the only one searching for this same pink bunny rabbit.

Michelle recently wrote me with this story:

I too am looking for this bunny. I am down to one, because my husband left it on top of the car when he left the daycare - never to be seen again.

But wait ... there's more!

*I found ours today on the side of the road by the daycare, but it was extremely dirty and had been run over. But over all, in usable shape, now that it has been washed. He is missing an eye and the head now rattles :( .

I saw one similar to it on eBay this morning - item number 150191936872. It is pink and Carter's with music and flowers on the stomach, but the flowers are pink, not purple, and I don't think the ears are the same. If your child is like mine they know the difference, and I am not sure if it would work.

Thanks,
Michelle

And now we have a THIRD family looking FOUND for this same rabbit!

Did she find this bunny? I REALLY need one for my great niece, says Charlotte. This is the only toy my great niece will sleep with, and hers is FILTHY.

Would you believe a FOURTH child needs this toy?

I am also looking for this Carter's pink bunny rabbit with purple flowers on its body and purple ears and feet. My daughter needs her to sleep - it is her best friend - we named her Roxy. Roxy helps when she is sad or hurt and also is used in tea parties and as a doll in a baby stroller. I have tried so many different ways and times to get a new one for the past year, and have been unsuccessful. If anyone has a one and is willing to sell- we would love it and buy it in a heartbeat!

Thanks!
Venessa (NEW POST FOR VENESSA ON 041408-1)

And now a FIFTH!!!

I am looking for this exact bunny too! Please, PLEASE, if anyone has found another, please let me know; I will do anything to find another! This was my daughter's lovey (she's 19 months old) and though she has a replacement, she still looks and asks for her bunny.

FOUND - RUBBER HEADED 80's Small Beanie Animals

Cat Jane has gone our of her way to read through a lot of requests and find quite a few toys for our searchers, plus adding information to several others, that will eventually help in finding those, too.

So I really did want to help her, when she asked for help identifying these small dolls.

As often happens, I found them today, as I was doing research to find someone else's toy! And here's a picture of the collection from Galoob Toys. They are called "SO SMALL BABIES"!

Hello, I really could use a hand on figuring out the name of some tiny bean bag bodied characters with rubber heads that I played with in the 80's. They were around 2 or 3 inches big.

There were bears, cats and babies that I can remember. By awesome luck I recently was able to grab a picture of a puppy one while searching for a fellow searcher's Kitty Surprise. It was included along as a misfit to the item. The puppy had no offered ID or tush tag available unfortunately.
Help me if you can!

Thanks!!

I can't thank Lisa enough for helping Shannin find this precious childhood toy, but I can give you a link to her items on eBay. She deserves your business, if she has something you would like to buy!

I am looking for a stuffed musical giraffe that was made by Carter's or Eden. It was brown and yellow, and when you wound it up the neck on the giraffe slowly rotated around. I had this animal 36 years ago and have since lost him. I am desperate to find another one. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

I am looking for a small lamb made by Carter's. My 2 year old son carried it everywhere with him and lost it on vacation. He is doing okay without it, but I would love to be able to replace it for him. He saw a picture of it the other day and has been talking about it ever since. He walks around with the picture (in the picture the lamb is in his Easter basket) telling everyone "I can't get it out of the basket..." It is so sad.

The lamb is white with a light green shirt on it. It has the words "You're Special" embroidered on the front, and there is either a butterfly or a bee as well. It also has a rattle in it. It is probably 8 or 9 inches long.

Thanks so much!

I found it yesterday while looking for something else on eBay. That happens quite frequently, and is the main reason I try to get as many photos of these lost lovies as possible.

This is what Nikki had to say:

OH my goodness! Thank you so so much! I got tears in my eyes when I saw it because my baby boy will be soooo happy! I cannot thank you enough!

Thanks again,

We found the monkey Debra has been looking for! I thought you might like to see what he looks like in excellent condition, since the original has seen so much loving.

In December, 2005, we bought our daughter a stuffed monkey at Walmart. It was made by Dan Dee toys. Walmart still carries this brand of animal, but no monkey. I have searched for years everywhere trying to find her a new one. Please help me find one for her. It is her favorite thing.

FOUND - MAMA CAT with KITTENS in Velcro TUMMY

I have a friend who is looking for a Momma kitty with a Velcro tummy that holds her baby kittens for her daughter. We remember that when we were little it was so exciting, because when you bought Momma kitty you didn't know how many babies she would have, or if they were boys or girls.

I am looking for a light pink pony. It's the same color all over. It's lying down and about 6" in length with a short smooth fur on its body and a fuzzy mane and tail. This pony has its front feet and back legs curled up underneath her and all parts, even the hooves are made from the same smooth short fur as the body. The mane and tail are the same color but a different longer fuzzy material. This pony has black shiny eyes. The pony's nostrils are formed.

My daughter was born November 25, 2005 and this was one of her birth gifts.
PLEASE HELP ME, this is breaking my heart as well as hers.

Carter's Yellow Duckie

Rosemary,
Oh my gosh!! I can't believe you found this duckie!! Its the exact same one we were looking for, its been sooo long since I posted that message I just figured we wouldn't ever find it!! I can't believe it,, we are sooo excited here . Thank you so much! We've made the purchase already off ebay, and its on its way!! Something told me to check my junk mail on line today (new addresses get filtered on my MSN) Again, Thank you so much! I'll have to send you a picture of the old duck next to the new one when we get it!!

These emails were the first ones I read this morning, and I don't mind telling you that THEY MADE MY DAY!

FOUND!! Love Wins Out!! What This Blog Is All About!!

Greg was not the only one looking for this You Are My Sunshine yellow elephant. Try as I might, I wasn't able to locate one, or even a picture of one. But one of our readers, Janice, let me know there was one on eBay, and, after quite a bidding war, he won it!!

He posted this heart wrenching story as a comment on a previous search request here on Plush Memories, but I just couldn't leave such a story buried in the comments!

This must have been some Elephant! My wonderful girlfriend, and soul mate, told me stories about her Elephant (which is identical to the one you're looking for) She got hers from her father as she was torn from him arms in Saudi Arabia (she's American) Her and her mother spent some time in Saudi custody before the American Embassy stepped in and had them sent back to America. The trauma was too much for her mother and my girlfriend was eventually put into an orphanage where she was separated from the only thing she had left to remember her family (her elephant). She got a letter when she was 15 telling her that her father in Saudi desperately wanted to come to her, but was killed in the process.

She cries when she talks about it, and she's pretty much come to terms with the fact that she'll never see him or her elephant again. If I can find an elephant like this one, my plan is to tie an engagement ring on a ribbon around it's neck and give it to her. It's very symbolic of "family" to her and I think would be the perfect way to tell her I want to spend forever with her and start a family with her. If anyone can help me locate this elephant it could help a beautiful young girl get some closure to a horrible childhood, and could help me give her a feeling of security for the future! Please help!

The elephant was yellow, had pink inside the ears, sang "You Are My Sunshine," and the head softly moved while it was playing. I believe it was made by Eden. Thank you so very much!

Hopefully, Janice will check back to see if he won it, as I have no way to contact her. I'm sure Greg would want to send her a Thank You email, himself!!

I've asked Greg to tell us about how she reacts when he proposes to her with the Sunshine Elephant, and I'll be adding to this post then.

FOUND - BINGO a Very Special Request PLEASE READ

We have been searching for Bingo Look-alikes every time we went on our toy hunts, and we managed to find 3 very similar puppy dogs. Melissa was nice enough to send me a photo of her children each holding the doggy they have each chosen as their own Bingo. I have chosen not to put their photos on this post, but I really appreciate her sending them to us.

This was a very unusual request for our blog, as we normally are trying to find lovies under much different circumstances. We are honored to have been able to help this grieving family.

Our four year old son drowned last summer and he had a favorite puppy named BINGO. I have found one on Ebay and purchased it, so we can send it to a memorial company to have a statue made. But three of our other children want replica's of Bingo for themselves. I am unable to let them keep Joshua's real Bingo.

Therefore, I am searching for a stuffed puppy that is approx. 12 inches long and was purchased at a Wal-mart store in 2001. The tag reads "Marketed by Wal-Mart Stores Inc." and has the # "PA-7575(KR)" on the bottom of it. The puppy comes in different colors, ie. brown, grey,... and has a leopard print collar. I don't care what color we can find, I would just like to purchase three more BINGO's.

Thank you for your help.
Melissa Bissell

I have photo's of the real Bingo.

FOUND - Manhattan? Sleek Plush Floppy GRAY ELEPHANT

We need a replacement for my grandson's lovey, which is coming apart after many washings. It is a gray elephant, lightly stuffed so that he is very floppy, with a long trunk and very large ears. He is super soft, but has a rather sleek fur, instead of a fluffy fur. We think he is a Manhattan toy. He was bought at a baby store in 2004. We later bought his cousin, a hippo, for the younger Grandson.

FOUND!!- Carter's Child of Mine CRIB MUSICAL RABBIT

I am looking for a white musical bunny that has pink ears and feet. It is made by the Carter's Child of Mine line, and it is one where you pull a string and it plays a lullaby. You can tie up in a crib. The bunny also has a white/yellow/pink bow with black eyes.


It is getting pretty ratty, and I would like to get a newer one for my son.

Thank you!

FOUND - Carter's Child of Mine White LAMB

Hi, my son just turned 3, and he recently lost his "Lamby" that he has had since he was born. I came upon this site while searching the web for another lamby.

I didn't think there was much hope of finding another lamby, as my son's was purchased in 2004, but I found this post on your site and saw that it was fairly recent and the lamb in the picture is EXACTLY the one that we need.

Also, I saw that you had found this item on e-bay not long ago??? If anyone can help me find another lamby I will be thrilled.


Thanks,

Mandy

FOUND - USED Pink Elephant GUND SPRINKLES

One of our readers found two of these Sprinkles elephants in storage and emailed me. I wrote Amber, but she does not need them. If anyone else needs one, I can put you in contact with the gracious lady who has them.

Amber writes:

I went ahead and bought my daughter a new elephant. I think she's happy with it, so I think we're okay. Thank you so much for your service! I can't believe you contacted me about this--that's wonderful!!

I'm looking for a pink stuffed elephant. It was pink and white with floppy ears, about 8"-10" tall. I think it was Gund but I'm not sure. (It IS a GUND.) It was definitely for babies, as my daughter got this for a baby shower when she was born and was never separated from it until we lost it 1 year ago. It was lost at a hotel in Des Moines, IA, and I called several times for months making them look for it.

We gave up on it until lately, as she's been talking about him. I tried to buy her a new one, but she wants her old one. She is 5 now, so the elephant was new in 2001 when she was born. If you can help at all that would be wonderful. Actually, a used elephant would be preferred...

Thanks,

Amber

I just bought one from eBay and we are giving that a try. My 5 yr old knows it's not "Ellie", her original elephant, but she's trying to bond with it. It's like she wants to, but she's still holding out for the original. That's why I was thinking if I could find a very used one it would be better. Thank you so much for all of your help!
Amber

So I'm going to leave Ellie in with the Searching category, even though Amber has bought a new one, just in case someone has a used one they would part with.

FOUND - SNUZZLES Blue Plaid COW!

I am looking to replace a stuffed animal from close to 20 years ago. My daughter cherished her cow --but lost him when her apartment things were throw away, during a visit home!




Since that photo doesn't help much with knowing what a Snuzzles looks like, I've included this photo of a Snuzzles lamb.




The cow was about 6-8" tall, made of pastel plaid flannel with satin-like face/nose and inside the ears. The nose was pastel pink and the ear trim was pastel yellow. She called him "Moo' when she was little.

I would be most grateful for any help tracking this down, and more than happy to pay shipping from ANYwhere to replace this cherished toy.

God Bless you all and thanks for reading,

Grace

I have moved this post back to the front, since more people are searching for this Snuzzles Duck.

Courtney is searching for the Snuzzles Duck that we found for Donna.

I am searching for what I believe was a Playskool ducky pillow type thing. It was yellow (pastel) plaid and had a flat orange silk beak and underside of wing. I believe it's from the 1980's.

I showed Donna some pictures of Snuzzles, and she thinks this is the right plaid. So, what she is looking for looks something like this duck.


And now Marie says she is looking for this Snuzzles duck, too!

I recently saw the posting for Donna of a Playskool Snuzzles Duck. I have also been looking for this for my daughter. She had it as a child and it is now threadbare. If anyone could help me find it I would appreciate the help.

Thank you,
Marie

I need to know the name of this, as well as an old Bert and Ernie infant sleeping bag from Carter's, I think? It had a yellow background and Bert and Ernies all over it

FOUND - Plush Purring Kitty Cat - RECALLED!!

I’m looking for a small, soft kitty cat that purrs when you squeeze it. It was about the size of a “fur-real” kitten, but much softer. It was grey with white paws. You either squeezed its belly or its foot to make it purr softly.

Our daughter saw it in a gift shop and loved it. My mom got it for her a few months later for her birthday. A friend of a friend was here playing one day and tried to take it home with her, but I found it as she was sneaking it out the door, twice.

Later, that girl came back when I wasn’t home, and I think she permanently borrowed it, because we haven’t seen it since. For our daughter’s next birthday, I got her the fur-real one, thinking that might take its place, but it’s not very cuddly and is a little spooky for a little girl!

Let me know if you come up with anything.

Thank you!
Greta

I can't believe it,, we are sooo excited here . Thank you so much! We've made the purchase already off ebay, and its on its way!! Something told me to check my junk mail on line today (new addresses get filtered on my MSN) Again, Thank you so much!

My daughter has a Plush Duckie that is wearing bunny slippers and has a rattle inside. It is yellow with little white duckies on his clothes. He could pass as a baby chic, but we call him duckie.

She has had the duckie since she was in my belly, and she is 2 now. Duckie has slept with her every night, been a guest at most meals, and just hung around. He's been through all her teething and still stuck around, but now were getting worried he might not make it through too many more washings.

We're looking for a back up. If you could help that would be great. I can barely read his tag, but from what I made out it looks like Prestige NY, NY and Carter's. She was born in October 2004, so the duck was probably bought around April at Target. I've looked on e-Bay, but have not had much luck.

Thank You!

It is a blue plush Kids Preferred puppy, all blue, with satin ears, a pink nose, and with the words Very Special Baby in a star on the left side. It looks almost identical to the size and shape of the Kids Preferred Sweet Dreams elephant that is listed on various sites on the Internet.

I don't care if it is new or used, and would appreciate any help that you could give me. I purchased one in Kohl's about 5-7 months back (in NJ), and I have searched all over for another, but cannot find one.

Thank you so much.

FOUND - Carter's "Baby Girl" Rabbit with Bunny Slippers

Our story is very similar to another on your site. Our daughter received a Carter's bunny before her birth in July, 2005. The original was bought at JC Penney's or Walmart. When she fell in love with it, we searched and found another at Macy's. That would have been April or May, 2006. Now we've lost one of our two bunnies, and she's more in love with it now than she ever was.

Here's the description: Carter's plush bunny with cream head and ears. It has a pink outfit on, with cream bunny slippers. It has a rattle inside. On the right chest it says "baby girl." There is a pink satin ribbon under the chin. The model number on the tush tag is pretty hard to read, but it might be 47423.

I would appreciate any help in finding another of these bunnies.

Thank you!

FOUND - Snoopy's Back Where He Belongs

I wish we were able to help everybody who writes us find the lovey they are looking for, as it brings us a lot of pleasure. Sometimes people write us, and we have the very one they want in stock, and then sometimes we find one for sale on the Internet for them. We had such a success story last week that I'd like to share with you.

We received a request from Nancy for help finding a "Teaching Snoopy", 1978-1984 approx., anywhere from 10"-12" tall and more doll-like than the larger headed plush Snoopy.

I'd never seen a Snoopy that fit that description, but I guessed that it was a dress me doll. When I Googled for it, I found one on eBay, with less than a day to go! When I sent her the listing she wrote this back:

You made myself and most of all my stepdaughter Marisa a happy girl. She is very sick at her young age of 28, and all she wants is the Snoopy she has had since childhood.

Thanks for being an Angel on Earth

I don't know about being an Angel, but I believe God used me to help this family, by giving Marisa her comforting childhood lovey. I told Nancy I would add Marisa to my prayers, and I'm sure she would appreciate it if you did, too.
