Have you seen this pink puppy? If so, please call me. Stat. Quickly. ASAP.
UPDATE: Ya’ll are the best interlings EVER! Thanks to your super sleuth ways, we have located two New Jay’s and one is being shipped even as I type this. Thank you!!!
Precious lambs, I have quite the situation on my hands involving a certain two year old in a hospital bed (STILL!) and a missing pink puppy.
Here’s the back story: little Avi has a pink puppy that she named Jay. We don’t know why she gave it a masculine name when it is, quite obviously, pink. But, if you’ll remember, Avi has interesting names for more than one person in her life.
Jay goes everywhere with Avi. He’s been to the park, to the grocery store and, very recently, to the Starlite office (where two real-life puppies almost gave Jay a trip directly to Puppy Heaven).
I’m not naming any names (cough, Snuggles, cough Cuddles, cough, cough).
Anyway, when the nurses came to change the sheets on Avi’s hospital bed last night, they apparently rolled Jay up and took him off to The Place Dirty Hospital Sheets Go. No one realized that Jay was gone until it was far too late (though I do need to give a shout out to the custodian who spent quite a bit of time digging through sheets trying to locate our pink little friend).
Avi has been told that Jay is taking a ride through the hospital to visit all the other sick little girls and boys. In the meantime, Aunt Amy Beth is continuing to type “pink puppy” in Google over and over and over again. And then Aunt Amy Beth wails and gnashes her teeth because ALL THE FAKE JAYS ARE HIDING FROM HER.
In a last ditch effort to locate a new and improved Jay, I decided to make my search public. Interlings, please meet Jay:
As you can see, I snapped this picture in happier times, when Jay and Avi were enjoying some ice cream at Dairy Queen. Have you seen a Jay wandering around your playroom or nursery? Or maybe even in a store? If so, could you PLEASE give me the details on where I can locate this particular pink (yet masculine) puppy?
I will pay BIG MONEY for a replacement Jay, so check your toy chest very well. I’ll need to get him here quick as I’ll have some work to do on him. You see, Old Jay was pretty torn and ragged. Obviously I’m going to have to lay New Jay in the driveway and run over him a few times in order to get Avi to believe we found Old Jay.
Sorry, New Jay. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team.

I’m praying that some wonderful person in charge of the laundry will rescue Old Jay before he becomes the Former Jay. Was the hospital helpful at all with the search?

Sarah posted a link to your story on our Plush Toy Search Service. I will be glad to write a post on our blog to help in the search. Do you know what brand the puppy is? That would help a whole lot.
We can also recommend a lady who can come phenomenally close to making replicas, particularly if you have lots of photos with Jay in them. Sounds like you would probably have some more. If you do, please send them to me, and I will use them in my post. Contact us – blog at dirtybutter dot com.

Here to clarify that the GIRL puppy’s name is Jaye….a perfectly good name for a GIRL puppy.

Hi,
I found this posting while I was searching for this exact puppy for my daughter. Her and her twin brother have matching ones (pink & blue) that they cannot go anywhere without….last weekend my daughter dropped hers in the airport on our way home from Mexico. Can you please let me know where you found your replacement Jay?? I’m desperate but don’t want to pay $60 like I found it for on ebay

Howdy! Found you through Cindy and I’m totally dying at all the posts I’ve been reading. Loved the video, too.
While I don’t have a Jay in my toy box, I’ll be praying you find one. And for New Jay’s sake, I pray he’s already tattered or he’s gonna have a rough go those first few days with you.
