Maybe we've already FOUND one just like one you need. See what people are SEARCHING for. If you have one of these toys, or know where they can get one, please help these families out!
I read each request, do the initial search, request additional information and photos, and edit most of the photos. Often I do find the lovie, so those requests never show up on this blog. I answer each comment or email that comes in about a posted request, act as a go-between to link people who can help with those who need help, and add new requests as soon as I can. Due to health problems I got way behind posting requests, so now I am trying to stay current with requests and gradually catch up on the older requests.
I can't adequately thank all of you who search for all these lovies I do post about. I get the ball rolling, but YOU are the ones who make this site work!!
Searching - CARTER'S PASTEL BEARS White BABY BLANKET
 My daughter has a very old Carter's blanket that she has had since she was a baby. The blanket originally had blue, pale green and pink bears on a white background. It was cotton with no border.
After many years of love it is gray and has been tied together, so that it now resembles a rope instead of a blanket. She actually had a replacement that was lost at a hotel in Pennsylvania while she was spending the weekend with her dad. I have searched in every 2nd hand store for miles every time I go in and at garage sales.
If you know of anyone that has one, I would love to purchase it for her. She is 9 yrs old now, but still sleeps with her blanket every night.

FOUND - LARGE Carter's Starters GREEN FROG
This is one of the old requests that I am trying to catch up with, and David was kind enough to email me. He writes:Thank you for your help with the search of our Froggy. I am happy to report that he has been found and we are very excited to have him home. He was left at a local shop about four months ago and now he is home. Thank you very much, David
 I am looking for a green frog that I purchased in 2004 at Babies R Us. It was a Carter's toy, and it was a medium to large sized plush animal. This one did not have any music box or anything inside of it. My son just turned 4, and it has been missing for a few months. His was the biggest of all and it was probably 15 inches tall or so. He would use his body as a pillow.

Searching - CHOSUN YELLOW Lying Down DUCK
 Our son carried “Duckie” everywhere he went from the age of 1 or 2 to 6, when Duckie was lost at a ranch of a friend’s while he was visiting there over the weekend. We have not told him, but apparently, the ranch dogs got to Duckie and tore him apart. We have told him that we are looking for a replacement, but that his original Duckie is gone for good. He is okay with that, but misses him horribly.
When I say that Duckie went everywhere, I mean it. When Jeb had ski lessons, Duckie stayed in his instructor’s parka. When we went to restaurants, Duckie came along. We went all over Europe with Duckie and he left him in a London hotel room. We had Duckie Fed Exed back to the U.S., immediately calling the hotel when we noticed his loss. To this day, Jeb occasionally cries himself to sleep about his missing Duckie. We have no intentions of lying to him and telling him that Duckie came back if we find one.
I purchased Duckie probably in the Spring of 2001 or 2002 at Target. It is manufactured by Chosun International. Duckie is bright yellow, very soft with orange chenille bill, tail and two feet. He lays on his tummy. The Easter Bunny put the yellow one in my son’s basket, and an identical pink one (that happens to be listed on your website as a missing toy) in our daughter’s basket. My son is currently sleeping with the pink one and I have promised him that I will have it dyed yellow if we cannot find another similar Duckie.
Thanks for all that you are doing! Laura

Searching - CARTER'S Fluffy Friends YELLOW ELEPHANT with BLUE EARS
 I've been looking for a Carter's Fluffy Friends elephant. He's Yellow with blue ears. I've found an all blue one, but, I need a yellow and blue one.
It is my granddaughter's favorite animal. She sleeps with him and a puppy lovie. The elephant is the ultimate favorite. We just want to be sure when he falls apart we have another one to take it's place. He goes swimming with her whether he wants to or not....goes to the "potty"......falls in mud puddles....etc. He's her "booboo" buddy too. He seems to heal everything.
If you could please find me one, this Grandma will be absolutely grateful.

Searching - JELLY CAT KITTEN Blue STARRY NIGHTS HORSE - PONY - DONKEY
 My son is now 5. We gave him Donkey the minute he was born (after spending ages looking for a special toy when I was pregnant), and he loved him immediately.
We did actually do the sensible thing and buy 2 spares, but they have now been lost. Rowan is still attached to Donkey, and takes him to bed at night, and looks for him in the day if he's feeling a bit unsure, tired, or unwell.
So firstly we'd love a spare for Ro, in case we lose Donkey.
Secondly, Our younger daughter Ellwyn idolises Ro, and when he puts Donkey down, she will often go and cuddle it the same way he does. We've tried similar versions of her own, but it's obviously not the same! We'd love to get her one of her own.
Lastly (and this may be a bit tragic!) my husband and I are now quite attached to Donkey! He's linked to a lot of lovely memories, and I look forward to the day we can pass him on to the grandchildren - so the thought of losing him is awful. Many thanks, Suzy

Searching - TARGET White DOG BLUE HALF FACE
 Blue Puppy, a beloved member of our family, was lost while running errands. We have retraced our footsteps, called every store we visited, turned the house and car upside down, and we have not found him. He is an integral part of the family. My son has fallen asleep with him tucked under his arm since he was 18 months old.
I bought Blue Puppy from Target, sometime in the late spring/early summer of 2006. I looked for a duplicate a few months later, just to have an extra on hand since my son loved him so much. I called Target customer service when I couldn't find one in the store, and I was told that that particular puppy was no longer being produced.
Now we need one, and I still can't find one anywhere. I've looked on eBay and found one old auction, I've posted a want ad on Craigslist, asked around, and nobody has a Blue Puppy.
Please please help! I am in desperate need of a replacement! My son has been in tears. I desperately want to find a new Blue Puppy for him to love.
Thank you, Kristy We have had THREE requests for this puppy since last year's post HERE and have yet to find one.If you can help Kristy and these other families find this Target Blue Puppy, please Contact Us, including #071808-1 in the subject, or Comment Here.

Searching - Long Legged WHITE RABBIT with BIG FEET Close Set Eyes
 My daughter has not let go of her bunny in two years and we are always losing it...I've gone back and searched an entire zoo!
She cannot live without this bunny. When she sleeps she drapes it over her shoulder. During the day bunny goes everywhere with her. If she leaves it somewhere and can't find it, she has a meltdown without it and cannot go to sleep. If I could find a way to attach bunny to her permanently I would, but it would be better if I could find another one in case she loses this one and it can't be found.
After returning from the zoo, we found bunny didn't make the trek home, so I had to drive all the way back to the zoo and hunt everywhere for it. It was finally turned in by someone hours later, while she just screamed the whole time.
It's quite stressful actually to always keep track of this bunny. My son has a matching teddy which was given to him by a different person than the bunny to my daughter, and neither person has any idea where they purchased them. Bunny is now so dirty even going through the laundry doesn't make him look better, and he really needs replacing. If you have any idea how to get another one, I'd be very grateful. Bunny is about a foot long from head to toe, not counting the ears. Thanks! Sharron
Here's the distinctive face, and it shows the shaggy chenille look to the fabric,too. Maybe you will recognize the character or the brand???

Searching - BROWN and WHITE Beanie Type TERRY DOG
 I am desperately seeking a small terry cloth brown and white dog. It is about 6 inches tall, and is full of "beanie baby" like filling. It has a little blue bow on its neck. He was made by a "no name" manufacturer and purchased at TJ Maxx in Cedar Rapids in March of 2003.
My 5 year old daughter lost Rufus about 1 1/2 years ago. He was given to her the day she was born, and we really need to find him. It would make my daughter so happy if "Rufus" were to come back. We were so protective and careful of this one toy, it's been horrible for her to not be able to find him. We never thought that almost 2 years later, she still cries for him.
