Every time I see this stuffed animal, made byCuddle Clones, I do a double take.
Its the spitting image of my dead dog.
You upload photos of your pet, customize a few options, and add remarks on distinguishing features.
The company then creates a plush replica, delivered to your door in about two months.
Its a mini me of your pet!
However, its pricey$179 to $249, depending on the weight of your pet.
I mean, its a stuffed animaland not evena life-size pegasus stuffed animal you could ride.
Its been several years since he died, and my daughter was still taking it hard.
She immediately raided her piggy bank, and we went online to place the order.
The form offers guidelines for adding photos.
We sent just a front photo and a side one.
At the time of this writing, its April 2016 if you place an order in February.
It was worth the wait.
Its so realistic that when I opened the box and first saw him, I almost burst into tears.
I couldnt stop looking at it throughout the day.
Theres no stuffed animal we couldve bought in a store that wouldve looked just like him.
The Cuddle Clones version, on the other hand, is impressive in its attention to detail and accuracy.
The company says they also use water-based airbrushing techniques for certain color effects.
And the thing is huge.
Its not like your typical floppy stuffed animal.
Its sturdier and holds its form when you pick it up and move it.
Sometimes my daughter lies on it like its a pillow (much as she did with our dog).
Sometimes she uses it as a tablet holder:
Mostly shes just ecstatic with her purchase.
Ill admit the toy still creeps me out sometimes.
Im still tricked into thinking its him.
Even though Cuddle Clones are stuffed animals, I dont think theyre just for kids either.
Anyone whos lost a beloved pet knows what its like to lose a family member.
