"A-Weema-Weh! A-Weema-Weh! A-Weema-Weh! A-Weema-Weh!"
Cute as a Sherman Tank! 
"You're NOT taking ME to the vet!"
"Roar!!"
Hi, mom! 
Us Bears wrote:First cat: "I've never seen a mouse fly THAT high, before!"
Second cat: "Neither have I!"
Third cat: "I think I used too much gunpowder..."
I was thinking like the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons.
Jerry, the mouse, always got the best of Tom, the cat, in the end.
First cat: "I've never seen a mouse fly THAT high, before!"
Second cat: "Neither have I!"
Third cat: "I think I used too much gunpowder..."
Mouse: "Did I say something wrong?"
Kitten: "You're a funny looking kitty!"
Rabbit: "Don't you know ANYTHING? He's a BUNNY!"
Puppy: "Sheesh!..."
Always take the time to smell the flowers...or eat them.
Hoverdog.
wow, I don't think I could outrun him. :D
No, but you only have to run faster than the other guy.
Yep! I know about tracking down Teddy Bears for my wife!
You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get her a 25th Anniversary Edition, FAO Exclusive, Snuffles! 
If I come up with anything I'll let you know.
Is it a K-Mart branded Bear like the WalMart branded "Snowflake" Bears?
Or, was it a general production Bear that was sold at K-Mart?
In the mean time, I do know about one similar Bear you can look at. He's a Hallmark branded Bear, produced in 2011. He says about a dozen different phrases when you squeeze him.

I'm sure you can find those Hallmark Bears on eBay.
If I get any other ideas, I'll shout. 
The way his mouth wore over time legitimately makes him look sad, it's strange but that's my bear. It's time for him to pass the torch of international travel to another bear, I couldn't bear the thought of actually losing him after I had a scare.
I really don't think he looks sad. He just looks tired.
I like the thought of him "passing the torch" but don't think of him as being retired.
Do consider that whoever the Bear is that takes the torch is going to need to be trained in how to properly care for his human. The "Old Guard" bear is the one who will teach the new Bear how to carry on the tradition.
I know that you want to find the same kind of Bear to carry on the tradition. If you can find the same one, it would be a good thing.
But, if you can't, would you consider taking "Old Bear" along with you to a Bear store and have him help you pick out the new Bear?
That way it would be like a job interview.
Maybe tired but I don't think sad.
He's done years of service, taking care of his human and being "bestest buddies," he deserves to look a little tired.
A loveworn Bear is the best kind of Bear. Lovewear is the highest badge of honor for a Teddy Bear that all Bears aspire to. Other Bears are jealous of him.
But I also agree that it's probably time for him to retire to mascothood where he can live on top of the dresser in the bedroom and be "Head Lookout," "Chief Advisor" and "King of All He Surveys."
It's time for a Changing of the Guard. Besides, he's going to need time to properly train his new replacement on how to take care of his human.
He's not sad and worn. He's loveworn! A badge of honor that any Teddy Bear would be proud to wear!
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tide roll away...
Such a ferocious looking little guy!
He'd probably lick you to death!
Hoots mon! There be a moose loose aboot this hoose!
