Two old stuffed bears.

Finding a Replacement Stuffed Animal?My dad bought these two stuffed animals at the hospital for me the day I was born in the year 2000. I've slept with them every night since then so the tags are completely worn off. I love them so much and need to figure out where to buy new ones. I can tell that they were made by the same company but can't find out which one. If anyone could help me find at least ONE of these stuffed animals, I would be so thankful, I've searched and searched but feel like I might give up. I am posting this here in hopes somebody is able to help me :) Thanks!

My 1 Year Old Dog Died All of a Sudden?I lost my little girl this week. She was a breed mix very cute. I rescued her little over 2 month ago. She was by my side all the time. We the other day she got up eat, we played and all of a sudden she started seizuring and they were strong. She had 4 hard ones before we got to the vets. 6 hrs later vet said I had to make a decision the outcome wouldn't be good if they continued she was not responding to any medication. She had no signs of anything. We played like we always do. I just don't understand why why this happened. I just can't believe something so small and cute could put a bent in your home after 60 plus days. We will never know why either. She was only 1 1/2 year old. We were giving her a life and know my heart is broken.

An inflamed tongue piercing.

Is My Tongue Piercing Infected?I've had my tongue piercing in for over 10 years, and recently I took it out due to an operation. After a month of it out, I've decided to put it back in. However once in, my tongue instantly swelled up and a massive hard lump formed around the hole. One big lump, from top of the piercing to the bottom of it, and due to the pain, I had to take it out again. It feels like scar tissue has been agitated and it hurts a lot. So not sure if it could be an abscess or just an irritation and it will go away, or I actually need to seek help? Shall I put it back in and see if it goes down or leave it out?
