Just seconds before this photo session
Dad was frantically searching rummaging through these drawers
for what I know not.....
But it was my duty to sit here to offer moral support
(evidently his search turned up nothing)
Mom and I decided to introduce you to Zip
the Original Beanie Baby Cat.
If you remember Beanie
If you remember Beanie
Babies, raise your hand!! Ahh I see a lot of hands.
You guys are telling your age! MOL
You guys are telling your age! MOL
They were quite collectible for many years. They all had
official birth dates, Zip's is March 28, 1994
official birth dates, Zip's is March 28, 1994
We only have this one because:
1)Mom thought Zip's
pink nose was adorable....little did she know one day
she would have a Diva with a pink nose. He was
a member of the family long before I arrived!
2) Mom loved the little verse that is on Zip's ear tag
"Keep Zip by your side all the day through
Zip is good luck, you'll see it is true
When you have something you need to do
Zip will always believe in you"
In this life it is very important to surround yourself by
those who have faith and believe in you!!

How awesome that your human has a predecessor to you Madi!
ReplyDeleteMy momma had lotsa da Beanie Babies from when she were a lil girl. Some kids never gotta play wif theres (becuz dey were sposed to be worth tons in a few years, MOL!), but momma says she did.
ReplyDeleteMy peep uses her Beanie Babies in her classroom. Each one means something different and they get to sit on different students' desks who've earned them! I'm so happy I got to be born during your mayoral time!

Mommy has quite a number of Beanie Toys with their tags on too. We aren't allowed to play with them though. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am sure your Dad was most grateful for your moral support Madi, even though his search was not a success.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
We have a scottie beanie baby! And a sloth for some reason.
ReplyDeleteGood helping your Dad, we're sure he appreciated the support.
We remember beanie babies! Plush Ashton is a beanie baby, but we took her tag off when she got her eyepatch. (We are sure that all of you collectors just cringed reading that.)
ReplyDeleteI had a few beanie babies....but my gosh, I did not know about the birthdates. Hmmmm. Must be livin' under a rock here. Well, buried in the sand anyway.
ReplyDeleteOf course a black beanie kitty is a guarantor for good luck. My mom collected some special beanies like that rainbow guy and the howl-o-ween guys...butt they all disappeared to nowhere... probably because she had no Zip the cat for good luck.
ReplyDeleteWe have that exact same beanie baby and lots of others. I need to figure out someone to give them to..
ReplyDeleteMadi, you have been one wonderful mayor, that is for sure. You all have a most wonderful Thursday.
We have a lot of beanie baby cats but not that one.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
your guy Raz and The Florida Furkids
Mommy is a kid at heart and loves her beenie babies. Its hard to believe your term as mayor is ending. U are a great mayor.
ReplyDeleteVery cute Madi. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
we could use a new mayor down here Madi, if you want to try in another state.. MOL... you look beyond adorable sitting next to the oil lamp and you must be good a balance to keep from knocking over that lamp.
ReplyDeleteZip must have been an omen that Mom and Dad would pick you Madi.
ReplyDeleteFate at work.
Good job as Mayor.
We LOVE Zip. He is CUTE and he DOES resemble YOU. They must have had some FORESIGHT when they made her.
ReplyDeleteWe have 4 Beanie WEENIES... heheheheh
OMD we can NOT wait to see who all is willing to run fur MAYOR... And there will be DEBATES and SPEECHES and Pawrades and Meet the Candy Dates nights with Pot Luck suppers.... OH and the nice Give Aways... the Pens and note pads and stuffs... Election Time in Blogville will be SO exciting.
Madi you are a wonderful Mayor and the next one has big paws to fill :) and i never jad a beanie...maybe cos i am older than dirt hahaahha :) hugs and loves Fozziemum xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI remember Beanie Babies! I sold them at a gift store and nearly lost my life over the fight for the ones peeps wanted! Zip's tag is darling!
ReplyDeleteOur mom says she went through life and never had a beanie baby or a Barbie doll. But her worstest thing is that she never got to be a Brownie even though she wanted to really bad. She loved the Brownie uniform and especially those socks. She says that is the reasons she is the way she is. Sigh . . . poor mom. We are glad she made it through life with such atrocities.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
What a fun beanie baby! Madi, I can't imagine anyone other than you being mayor! We will get thinking though...
ReplyDeleteMomma still has a Beanie Baby or two. She never was crazy at collecting them, but there were a few she bought 'cause she liked how they looked.
ReplyDeleteYep momma knew of those beaniebabies...we actually have a beanie moose that we play wif.
ReplyDeletestella rose
That beanie is ALMOST as cute as you sweet Madi!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the makers of that beanie baby knew one day there would be YOU, a kitty just like little Zip who brings good luck and support to your mom. She is lucky to have both of you! Dear Dawg...a new Mayor in Blogville? It will be difficult to find your replacement, Madi.

Oh boy...Mama smiled when she read about the Beanie Babies, she remembers them (and has more than a few) well!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!

Zip seems like a very nice Beanie. Mom says she used to have lots of those babies around but she doesn't know where they are now. Hope your Dad finds what he is looking for:)

Zip looks just look you, Madi!! BOL
ReplyDeleteYour BFFF,

Madi, the mom has a lot of beanie babies...mostly all the cat ones, of course! One of my first toys when I was a little kit was a leopard beanie baby. I still have him. ~Wally
ReplyDeleteMa had a couple of beanie babies, butts her Angel Panda dog gutted them...bummer. None was a pawsome as Zip though!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
I wasn't a huge fan of Beanie Babies, just the cat ones..hehe!
ReplyDeleteMikko plays with a little stuffed puppy that was laying around the house, I can't even remember where it came from. But we play fetch and sometimes Jax joins in the fun too!
Have a pawsome day!

How amazing that your mom found Zip and then you? It's like Zip came to life in you - that is pawsome!
ReplyDeleteWally & Sammy
We can't wait to see who wants to be mayor!
ReplyDeleteOh, Zip is so cute. Our mama was into Beanie Babies for awhile when our step-sister was younger. Mama still has a few packed away in boxes. We are looking forward to seeing who will be running for mayor.
