I can’t believe it, I don’t know what to say! That’s my guy’s duck, all right. I’m assuming it’s the right size, too, and I’ve already placed the order. (Though I suppose I should have checked with you first – how tall is this duck gentleman?) I literally just took my first normal breath since finding out that Duck was missing. Wow.

Thank you SO much, Susan, and thank you to Rosemary for responding to me so quickly and thoughtfully! This is truly a blessing.

I’m looking for a fluffy pale yellow duck puppet, with a darker yellow beak and short feet. It’s about 15″ long, with a hole in the bottom. When you move the beak from the inside, the duck quacks “Old MacDonald” and two other tunes.

There is a very similar duck made by Chrisha Creations with the same sound mechanism that is NOT the right one. That duck has legs (not just feet), is rounder, and the eyes are spaced differently from the one my son had.

I have a son with special needs whom my husband and I adopted from an orphanage as a young toddler. He had received a large singing duck for his first birthday, and now he’s going through a hard time and feels that he needs to hold something from the time he was in the orphanage (this can be very important and healing for post-institutionalized kids). The problem is, I gave the duck to my mom for safekeeping, and she accidentally got rid of it.

My son has been through a lot, and I really appreciate your helping us!

All the best,

Petra
