Everyone, I need some help. My dog ate my sons favorite stuffed animal and he is devastated. Has anyone seen this thing anywhere? I need to get him another.

Before you act like an ass, maybe you should try clicking the link?

Take a step back and relax. When I first clicked your link I too was about to go "dude, just click the Buy it for $9.99 link?"

Your OP was very vague. You even write "the above link is dead" when that link is NOT dead. You can't buy the item from that site, but the link works.

You should change your post so as to say something like "This is what it looks like, but it's out of stock there."

oh and btw, it's Help MY son, not "Help me son", unless you are giving us a direct order and calling "son".

Sorry I did not meet your post requirements. When you are searching for something to make your child happy, there are times when you fat finger keys and really just try to get your thoughts out.

Thanks for searching. I think I'm going to need to give up on this one. Poor little guy, I feel bad. Normally I would turn this into a life lesson (don't leave your shit on the floor for the dog to get) but he had this thing since he was born.

Meh, you don't say how old your son is...
Don't replace the toy. Use it as a teaching point. Either how he needs to be responsible for his things or how his parents need to be responsible for his things.

Good advice.

Don't shelter your child from disappointment either. He'll grow up to be a miserable person. He has to learn to deal with it and move on.

In time this will need to be explained too, and hopefully the kid won't need counseling. :awe:
But seriously, what are you getting at? Are you disagreeing with me?
Agreeing with you and being a little sarcastic for those that raise their kids on the 2 mentioned and BAM, the bubble is burst by that rat bastard Johnny in the 2nd grade. Let the counseling begin.

Hey, my friend's older sister showed us a picture in a biology book of an erection, and told us that milk came out of boobies and we were both devastated. If we could get over that one then there's hope for all kids out there. :awe:

I think it works the other way around. You went from not knowing to growing up and enjoying sex. This is like a guy with a first time case of E.D. after a lifetime of the morning salute.:'(

I am E.D. free, happy to say.

Believe me, my son is not sheltered and he knows the consequences of his actions. However, the child is 4 years old. I am not looking to pamper and cater to his every need, but if you have any compassion you can understand why I would want to replace this dog regardless if he left it on the floor or not.

Those of you that have children may understand, I do not expect those without too.

Fully understand and may would do the same. Mine has it pretty good, imo.

The boy brought a small toy(happy meal, iirc) to the book store. Told him to leave it in the car but, instead, he left it in the book store. I didn't go back. Was about the same age as yours, at the time.
