We still have not found this beloved dog! We have our eyes, minds and hearts wide open looking.
It will be a great day when this prayer is answered.
Thank you so much!!
Love
Melissa
DanDee Large Floppy Blue DogMy daughter was killed in a car accident 8 months ago. Her 4 year old son was in the car with her. He was unhurt, but his precious “blue baby” was not so lucky.

It’s blue with dark blue ears and tail. The fur is almost like a long terry cloth, not furry at all – just like bumpy cloth. Blue Baby is about 3 feet long, nose to tail, and it’s floppy and lays flat. It was made by DanDee company, and they no longer make them.

He thinks Mommy took blue baby with her and asks all the time if blue baby died. It would just be too hard to say yes. I have looked everywhere!

Forever grateful,

Melissa

Searching – 90′s DanDee KOOL KIDS? BRUNETTE CLOTH DOLL with DENIM SHOES

Carrie is still looking for this exact doll. She has already bought some “close” ones, so she’s only interested in the exact match.

DanDee? Kool Kids? Brunette Cloth Doll with Denim ShoesI’m looking for an approximately 16 inch soft body rag doll. She has brown yarn pony tails with orange scrunchies. Her legs are a very skinny orange velor and end in a denim fabric shoe. She was purchased in the early to mid 90’s in Dundee, Florida, at a Winn Dixie supermarket. Originally she was dressed in an orange t shirt with shorts or a skirt, but she has quite the wardrobe now.

Based on my own research I believe she was part of the Dan Dee line of dolls, perhaps the Kool Kids line, but have not been able to confirm that.

I have a Down’s Syndrome cousin with multiple developmental delays resulting from both the disorder and premature birth, and I was asked if I could find a replacement for this doll.

We have tried similar dolls, and she takes interest for a time, but then it is back to ”Trudi”. Sadly she is holding together well, but not well enough, and due to the development delays communication/ understanding is not a strong point.

Thank you for the wonderful opportunities you give for both assistance and to offer our services to assist others.

Thanks,

Carrie

Searching – 1986 Jumbo Love PUFFALUMP Style PINK & WHITE HUGGIE BEE BEAR Top Priority

One of our Fabulous Finders thinks this MAY be a Potpourri Press lovie.

1986 Jumbo Love Puffalump Style Pink & White HUGGIE BEE BEARI am looking for 1986 “Puffalump” look alike, large pink and white stuffed bear. It looks very much like a Jumbo Love. It had Huggie Bee Bear on the chest/bib.

I can’t find it anywhere. I really need to locate one for my daughter, who has a life threatening disease. It appears this animal will make all the difference in the world. The bear was accidentally left outside in the rain and molded to the point it had to be thrown away. Please help me find one.

Thanks,

Searching – 80′s LYING DOWN Firmly Stuffed TAN & BLACK GERMAN SHEPHERD with TONGUE Top Priority

I’m looking for an 80′s? lying down firmly stuffed German Shepard that is mostly tan with black on his back. His tongue hung out, and he had plastic nose and eyes.

When I was little my mom got me this (to me then) huge stuffed German Shepard dog from Walmart. I kept him for years. My upbringing sucked, and his back held A LOT of my tears. My mom in moving from Texas to Connecticut lost him.

I cannot find another like him, and I wish I had my original Wolf, but I’ve looked and can’t find him. I just wanna find another. I’m dealing with a load of serious health issues now, and even though I’m almost 30, sometimes I still just need to cry into him ya know?

Anyone who can help…. Well I have no way of paying you back fully, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mandy

Searching – Vintage KOREA United Feature Syndicate SNOOPY Without PATCH on TUSH Top Priority

Vintage Korean Applause? Snoopy Without the Tush PatchWe’re looking for a late 70′s or early 80′s, and possibly even older, firmly stuffed Snoopy. The tag says ©1968 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC. PRODUCT OF KOREA REG. NOS. PA219-CA16113 ALL NEW MATERIALS CONTENT:KAPOK SHREDDED CLIPPINGS. It does NOT have the Snoopy patch on the tush. He is between 12 and 13 inches, although he is probably deflated and elongated from wear and his fur is certainly nappy from love.

We’re trying to find a backup for a friend of ours for her little boy. He has a brain tumor and is a precious child. The Snoopy was his Mama’s, but he has taken it over. She says that it is his Snoopy, and not Mama and Daddy, who comforts him when he feels bad or gets a booboo.Vintage Korean Applause? Snoopy Without the Tush Patch

With all the doctor and hospital trips this little fellow has to make, it would give his Mama and Daddy a little piece of mind to know they had a backup already in hand.

We found item 250874418408 on eBay that she says is very close, and she’s considering getting it, even though it is not the correct one.

Thanks,

Rosemary

Searching – BROWN Chenille MONKEY with TAN FACE & EARS Top Priority

Posted by | Filed under TOP PRIORITY | Nov 8, 2011 | Tags: backup toy, plush monkey, Searching for a toy
3 Comments »

Brown Chenille Monkey with Tan Face & EarsI am searching for a brown chenille monkey with a tan velour face and ears. His ears are all tan, front and back. Unfortunately, all information on the tag wore off some time ago. :-(

It is NOT the Koala Baby No. 1415352 monkey, although Amy says that’s as close as she has found to the right monkey.

Momo is my son’s lovey and has enormous sentimental value. My son was born with a severe congenital heart defect and, at 20 months old, has already been through 3 open heart surgeries, 2 cardiac catheterizations, and spent over 5 months of his life in the hospital. His monkey was there through it all.

But we took the monkey out with us running errands in the rain this past weekend and he somehow disappeared. We retraced our steps with no luck. But then someone turned him in to the grocery store where we were shopping on Sunday! (We’re guessing he dropped him in the parking lot).

This scare has convinced us that we need a backup!!

Here is a post with lots of photos of Momo.

Thanks,

Amy

Searching – Animal Adventure Large TAN & WHITE BEAR with RED PLAID BOW Top Priority

Animal Adventure Large Tan & White Bear with Red Plaid BowI’m looking for a large Animal Adventure light tan 20 inch long teddy bear wearing a large red plaid bow. He has a big white muzzle with a large brown nose, and his feet are white, too, with “toenails” made of thread.

My wife is a chronic pain patient since 1963 when she was in a car accident that killed her husband and almost killed her. She’s had over 20 surgeries over the years and recently developed dementia so badly that she didn’t even know who I was.

The Doctor told me she wouldn’t recover from it, but after months of prayer, God gave her back to me in a miraculous way – one day she just knew who I was and after nearly a year she’s still doing fine. Praise God.

During this time she bonded with a Teddy Bear and he became a member of our family, her sister, me (husband since 1966), and of course her.

Teddy is starting to get older now, and we desperately want a new bear to carry on for him. So any help would be very much appreciated. I contacted Animal Adventure, and they said he was a discontinued item and suggested we post here. They helped as much as they could, but we hope someone might have some left so we can keep our bear forever. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help,

Gary

Searching – 80′s Commonwealth Toy ORANGE & WHITE JUMBO LOVE MONKEY Top Priority

We have a mailing list of people looking for various Jumbo Love animals.


1986 Commonwealth Jumbo Love XL Orange & White MonkeyI’m looking for a 1986 Commonwealth Jumbo Love very large Puffalump style orange and white monkey with the Jumbo Love patch over the heart.

I am trying to locate this monkey for my daughter. Monks was her constant companion throughout her childhood. I unfortunately made a poor choice for my first husband, who was very emotionally and verbally abusive to all of us. Luci (Michelle, sometimes!) was scarred the worst of the three of us.

Monks was her friend, her security, her comfort, her protector. She wore him down to tatters, then tenderly packed him away in a box. The box was misplaced somewhere through the moves, the divorce…..who knows.

Now that she is dealing with her husband’s injuries from fighting in Afghanistan, I thought that it would be a comfort to her to have one again. There is so little that we can do for her, and there is no clear diagnosis of the extent of her husband’s injuries. We can only pray that he is “fixable”.

Sadly our wonderful liberal Democrats are cutting funds, and they may force him out of the Army before he gets treated. Then….who knows what will happen.

Most people don’t understand that funding the military is not about funding war. It is about taking care of the brave men and women – and their families – who sacrifice to protect our freedoms. Without them there would be no Bill of Rights.

Sorry, didn’t mean to get on my soapbox. I appreciate any help you can give me in locating Monks2.

Thanks,

Edie

How to REPAIR PULL on Crib Pull Toys

Posted by | Filed under TOP PRIORITY | Aug 4, 2011 | Tags: crib pull, how to, toy repair
No Comments »

One of our readers suggests that crib pull toys that lose the pull can be repaired!

You can open the toy up and repair the pull string using the existing string. I have repaired a few of these. Open it up at the seam, usually in the head portion or where ever the music box is located. Pull out the box and use a tiny flat head screw driver to pry open the box or take the screws out whichever is the case for your animal. Once inside you can usually tell how the string attaches.

Have you ever repaired a special lovie?

Searching – Macy’s First Impressions BROWN & TAN MONKEY with TAN NOSE & PLASTIC EYES Top Priority

Macy's First Impressions Monkey with Plastic EyesI’m looking for a First Impressions monkey from 2007 sold originally at Macy’s. It is not the one with the stitched eyes and nose. It has a nose the same color as its face and plastic shiny eyes.

My husband gave my son his monkey. He has carried it everywhere since he was old enough to grab a hold of it. When his little brother was born he decided to give his monkey to his brother. Now that his Daddy is headed towards a deployment, I’ve caught him on the monitor several times holding monkey in his brother’s room and whispering, “I miss you,” and then gently putting him back in his brother’s room and leaving.

My heart breaks every time, and I would love nothing more than to have another monkey, so that they can each have their own.

If you can help me find another monkey for my sweet, and giving boy I would be so grateful.

Thanks,

Meg

My beautiful daughter that was 4 1/2 had 3 open heart surgeries. She went into heart failure and was waiting for a heart transplant. Last Memorial Day weekend of 2010, she had a stroke, paralyzing the right side of her body. On June 17th, 2010, my Kaydence passed away in my loving arms.

She had a bunny just like this one, but pink. When she passed, her little bunny went with her in her casket. I would love to find this pink bunny.

FOUND BOY but Still Searching – Petting Zoo BLACK IT’S A GIRL DOLL with SHIRT, HAT, BOOTIES & OUTIE Top Priority

Natanya is still looking for the AFRICAN AMERICAN version of the GIRL doll.


Petting Zoo It's a Boy! AND It's a Girl! Seated Baby Dolls with Outie, Shirt, Cap, & DiaperTo Whom It May Concern: I am praying this site is legit. I conceived twins 4 1/2 years ago, a boy and a girl. My husband bought two Petting Zoo 9″ rattle dolls from the hospital gift shop. They were African American dolls that sat upright. They had “Its a Boy” and “Its a Girl” on their shirts. Both wore hats and little booties. They had a button nose and an outie belly button. They wore a white hat and had a rattle in their stomach.

My son, one of the twins, did not survive, but my daughter kept the dolls. Two years ago, my daughter lost one of them. Six months later, she lost the other. She has been asking for these dolls for 2 years. I can’t find them. She prays for them every night. I think it gives her a sense that her twin is still near.

Petting Zoo evidently only carries them in a Caucasian version now, which wouldn’t matter to me, but she remembers them vividly. I actually ordered the Caucasian dolls, but it’s not the same for her.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Natanya
