Lily has had her pink stuffed dog, Clearbelle, since she was born. Clearbelle is friends with Laszlo's frogs and they both play with her every day.
Last weekend was the last time we saw Clearbelle.
I thought maybe she was lost in the house somewhere, but after ripping apart every room, she's clearly gone. I called all the places she went last week with Robert and nobody has her, which could be that they just don't, or that they found a ratty looking stuffed animal a week ago and chucked it. Lily's full name is on the tag and we're listed in the phone book, but I guess most people wouldn't think twice about it.
She's made a few comments about Clearbelle over the week. Often she'll say that she learned something and then she'll say, "Know who told me that? Clearbelle." Yesterday she sang a song and told me it was about missing someone and that it was a very sad song. I asked her if she made it up, she said, "No, Clearbelle taught it to me." And then yesterday with my mom she said that Clearbelle misses her. I called the barber shop and they told me that if I wanted a stuffed animal, I should go to Toys R Us. Then I explained that my daughter lost it, and then he softened and said they didn't find it, but if they did, they'd save it. It had already been days, if they found it there, it's gone for good.
Why am I *so* sad about this.
