TY Beanie Baby - SNEAKY the Leopard
The poem on Sneaky's tag reads: "A shadow in the dark you'll  see / Don't be afraid, it's only me / My spots will hide me 'til I see  / That you are just the friend for me." It's hard to imagine this  little leopard stealthily maneuvering through the nighttime African  landscape and stalking its prey. What is easier to imagine is this baby  leopard cuddling with a doting owner under the bed covers or carefully  perched on a proud collector's shelf. The tawny colors and dark  rosettes on its realistic-looking fur make this plush predator  especially striking. But it's the delicate pink cat nose and wide amber  eyes that give Sneaky an aura of sweetness. Sneaky, who was born on  February 22, is one of the Ty's year 2000 babies.--Gail Hudson
