Hi

this is my first post but have lurked for sometime. My 3yo DS has lost his favourite stuffed dog tonight in Blackpool and I am putting a plea out there if anyone can help me! Its a very tatty looking, sorry well loved(!) dog and we dropped it near the south pier about 7pm-long search but no joy. I am devastated and feel so sorry for him-he sobbed all the way home-as did I. I hope someone can help us.

Any suggestions how we can make him feel better tomorrow? Thinking build a bear and obviously lots of hugs but if you have been in a similar situation any ideas are more than welcome.

Many thanks in advance
Balletpump

ps-if you saw me sobbing on Blackpool front and stopped to help thank you as well x

Hope you find him or a suitable replacement mrsballetpump

Actually he does look like he has a patch, wish they had used a better photo!

thederkinsdame · 29/10/2011 00:58

I meant this one and I think height have a patch

GalaxyAddict · 29/10/2011 00:55

Right, think I may have worked it out now, adding a link business - this is the same as the dog I have who would be more that happy to come & live with the Balletpump's.

Really must go to bed soon, do let us know how you get on Balletpump and Mr Balletpump. :)

chipmonkey · 29/10/2011 00:49

That is deffo the same dog!

Hungrydragon · 29/10/2011 00:43

It's been relisted so they'll probably agree to another photo to sell it?

cakeismysaviour · 29/10/2011 00:41

Mr Balletpump - Perhaps email the ebay seller, I'm sure he/she would send some more pics!

LeBOOOf · 29/10/2011 00:40

Oh yes- soak him in tea!

GalaxyAddict · 29/10/2011 00:38

How can I post a photo of my dog on here? He would love to come & live with the OP's family anyway.

I am on my iPhone, can I email a photo of the dog to someone technical who knows how to add the photo Smile

Oh Hungry that's as near as dammit! Chuck him in a muddy puddle then put him through the wash and job done!

Sorry to hear of your loss!! I also thought it was Malcolm Mutt Tot but the ears are shorter aren't they?

I wonder if a visit from the travelling Mumsnet Pom Bear might cheer him up? See the thread here

Hungrydragon · 29/10/2011 00:33

It's annoying as you can't see the patch, I don't know whether it's the same and lighter as it hasn't been in the washing machine a gazilllion times loved enough?

cakeismysaviour · 29/10/2011 00:32

I have looked back and forth between the OP's photos and dragon's link and I am convinced too!

LoopyLoopsPussInBoots · 29/10/2011 00:30

I'm sure of it.

cakeismysaviour · 29/10/2011 00:29

Ooooo he does look promising dragon!

LoopyLoopsPussInBoots · 29/10/2011 00:28

Hungry! That's got to be it!

Hungrydragon · 29/10/2011 00:26

is this too light?
