Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone here might recognize my childhood plushie.

I’ve had him since I was about two years old in 1998, and I named him Miguel. I’m not even completely sure what animal he is. I always thought he might be a mouse.

Some details I remember about him when he was newer:

• He originally had two white gumball-like plastic eyes

• He had a pink belly and pink inner ears

• The rest of his body is darker fabric (black or very dark brown)

• He is a small, round plush with short arms and legs

There used to be a tag on the back, but it was ripped off a very long time ago. Only a small stub of the tag remains.

The story of how I got him is also a little unusual. According to my mom, my uncle was a landscaper in the Phoenix area and was hired to help clean out a foreclosed home sometime around 1997 or 1998. Miguel was found during that cleanup and my uncle brought him home and gave him to me when I was about two.

I’ve kept him ever since, so he’s definitely been through a lot over the last 25+ years.

I’ll attach a photo in the comments. If anyone recognizes the style, brand, or might know where he originally came from, I’d really appreciate the help.
