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

Just saw a sold doggie on eBay, well done :-)

You can always offer to cover costs for it to be sent recorded/guaranteed

Fingers crossed for the morning!

You know you are going to have to print this thread and keep it along with the post cards for ds when he is a lot older.

I left my beloved plastic ET doll at my Grandparents house and was devastated. I still have the letter from my Granda written by ET telling me what a lovely time he was having and that he would be home with me soon.

I should imagine that a thread like this and all those postcards will be a lovely reminder for your ds when he is a man of how very much he is loved Smile

What a great thread! Wish I had done the same when DD lost her precious Bunny-no-legs at Sainsbury's a few weeks ago (knew it would happen - see pics on my profile!) As it turned out, DSM phoned the day after and mentioned that she'd finally found and bought two more exactly the same in a shop I'd already been to twice!

Wish Sainsbury's could have been more helpful though - when I asked if staff could keep an eye out I was told 'it doesn't work like that'. The original never turned up Sad

Hope your bid wins!

Thumbwitch · 04/11/2011 22:38

hi
one week on and back again! Right the bid is on, so a long night ahead.
More postcards again today and DS is loving them and having them read to him a million times. Nursery are going to use it as a project as well-only if he comes back after his holiday/spa break/plastic surgery absence!
I can't believe how much this story has captured people-kindness has been just gorgeous and hello and thank you to all of you! Thanks Right where's the wine and chocolate?!

I like thinking what a good story this will be in the future as well. Card on the way from New York.
