Have you seen Penkie? We received the following e-mail in the mailbox, and we were instantly touched.

"We came upon your website with all its penguins during a search for Penkie, the Russ Berrie penguin.

My two boys had a Penkie whom they loved. He has disappeared and cannot be found. I've been trying to find a replacement, but apparently he is no longer being made.

I'm hoping that you might direct me to somewhere we might find one.

Are there any good shops near you where we might find one? We're in the California and have looked all over. I've even called the company without much luck."

It's Penkie!

Have you seen Penkie in a store recently? He's a Black Orange and White Russ Berrie penguin, with a grey and red scarf. I haven't personally seen one in a store for about two years, but I'm sure some store still has some in stock.

It's Penkie!

So if you do see Penkie somewhere, please let us know where, and we'll pass on the message. Keep your eyes out next time you pass the stuffed penguin aisle (as always!).
