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

Mr Balletpump here, have to thank you all for your support in such troubling times - Looking at all the components it is definately a Jellycat! But has components of so many! Definately has the face of scamp & looks well loved in the pictures posted but can't find the exactmatch anywhere on line. Will get in touch with Jellycat for sure. Still hoping for the long shot that someone in Blackpool will come up trumps. Its been hard seeing my son & wife so upset about losing a teddy but he is part of the family. Funny eh?

Mr Balletpump

how are you all putting it on FB i cant do it.

Shrieking, I posted the link to the photos and the link to this thread in my status

Shall tweet the pic

When Mr Moo went missing we thought that was it and i thought 'we would have to find a replacement' but then i looked back onto the memories, him cuddling him everynight, even as a newborn baby. I hope he turns up.

OK Thanks Bogey

NOt trivial at all - heartbreaking for you all. I feel your pain - both dsis and I have had this with our son's treasured toys.

We were unable to find a spare for DS' toy - pre internet access days.

Dsis ended up bidding £70 to get one from France for DNephew.

Thankfully DD and Dniece had regularly rotated spares, alhtough DD came across her spare and so now has both on condition that they do not leave her room - easier as she is 7.

Really really hope you find it / a replacement. I've just rifled through DDs soft toy collection as I thought we had one a bit like that which you could have had but it is a completely different colour.

I've put it on my FB

Oh dear lord, I looked through all these, and the very last two photos, just, oh god. not for public... consumption!

This why I bloody love MN

Second whoever suggested contacting the local paper, I bet the Blackpool local paper would do a story to try and help DS and his toy dog to be reunited.

is this too light?

Hungry! That's got to be it!

Ooooo he does look promising dragon!

I'm sure of it.

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

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?

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

Mr Balletpump - the colour is exact!!! :) just trying to find better pictures now to confirm! Thanks

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

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

Oh yes- soak him in tea!

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