More asking for help than Aibu.

DS 13 has had a much loved teddy since he was born that he sleeps with every night, which somehow we have lost. House turned upside down, re-traced every step and cannot find it anywhere.

DS is autistic so this is absolutely devastating for him and was crying in bed last night.

Please can I ask if anyone has one that they do not want or seen on on any selling pages so I can replace (without DS finding out!!!)

It’s made by Keel and called baby’s 1st puppy. It the same as this picture but blue ears, feet, tail and nose not pink.
Checked with Keel and they don’t make them anymore (it is nearly 14 years old!!).

Oh poor thing. Have you had a good look on ebay?

AnnieField · 04/03/2020 13:27

Thank you, yep searched eBay, amazon, gumtree, local Facebook pages. Lots of the newer Keel baby’s 1st puppy but not the one he had. The picture I’ve attached is from one I found on eBay but the wrong colour.

Oops, sorry missed the bit about the colour, that's probably the one you already found?

LunaHarley · 04/03/2020 13:57

Can't post the link but if you search for 'Keel Toys Blue Nursery Dogs 25cm In A Bag New With Tags' there is a similar looking one on eBay but is white and blue

This is the one Luna found.

There are two pink ones on eBay so they must come up every now and again, so there is hope.

StealthPolarBear · 04/03/2020 14:49

As soon as you replace it the twin will turn up :)

Fluffybutter · 04/03/2020 14:54

Have you tried the laundry basket Or maybe it’s tangled up in the bed clothes ?
This is where my dd’s ‘snuggy’ has turned up in the past .

CarolHasAnotherUTI · 04/03/2020 22:42

This one doesn't look like it sold - might be worth messaging the seller?

This kind of request does really well on Twitter - I've seen lots of parents inundated by offers. That's what I would do. Good luck! If you do tweet it, post a link here & I'd be happy to share.

Search 'little blue cup', a group that finds lost softies and other essential items.
We found a lost softy in a cupboard in the utility after a family visit, once.
Good luck

AnnieField · 05/03/2020 08:25

Sorry for delay. Thank you so much, yes I have found a few pink ones but not the blue one, searched washing baskets, you boxes everything and cannot think where it has gone. We are having the house renovated and DP has done a few tip runs so panicking it’s got caught up with rubbish. Not sure how else it has left the house, we do not take it anywhere apart from holidays in case we lose him. Will try little blue cup thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, Carol has found the right one! Message the seller!

CarolHasAnotherUTI · 05/03/2020 08:46

Yes, please message the seller! it ended a month ago, so not that long ago. There's a chance.

thesunwillout · 05/03/2020 09:06

It says sold on it tho?

MyEnormousTurnip · 05/03/2020 09:10

Has it been washed with bedding and is tucked in the corner of a duvet cover in the airing cupboard or something? I’ve had this happen.

PurpleFrames · 05/03/2020 09:12

Maybe post on twitter if you still haven't found one? I know some posts before for similar reasons got lots of support

CarolHasAnotherUTI · 05/03/2020 10:52

It says sold on it tho?

Oh? It just says auction ended on my screen.

AnnieField · 05/03/2020 11:15

Thank you Carol, I’ve message the seller on eBay just in case she still has it. Will keep you updated Smile

Do you know anyone crafty who could make you a copy or change the pink bits to blue?
