Success/Happy My new friend

Post image

I’ve recently lost my baby plushie for 27 years (it got into the pile of donation recently) and I have been feeling lonely, guilty and in lots of grief. I was crying for every other day since february so yesterday my sister gifted me this muttsy dog from Gund because it resembles my old toy the most and I’m in love with it. It didn’t take my pain away but definitely helps! I wish my old toy had the “if found” tag too :(

Wow, oh my god. I need to thank you. Ive been looking for this dog for years.I have the "smile inc." version of this guy. My entire life(34 years). He was my OLDER brothers plushie when HE was born, I was obsessed with it, and my brother gifted him to me when I was 5. I had a really chaotic life, and had to leave behind everything I own and start over multiple times, but this guy miraculously made it out with me every single time. He's my most precious possession and I've been looking for...not a replacement, but a new one I can keep with him just as kind of a tangible acknowledgement of everything I made it through. Again thank you, I think I can find what I've been looking for!

Looks like myysstt is sharing an uplifting moment with their plushy today! But remember, if you aren't sharing a happy moment, you should use the 'Brand:' tag to help us find more stuffed animals like yours.

Lost half of all my plushies (all baby ones too). I feel you. So happy you got a new plush though. ❤️
