Rascal the dog RETIRED Playing is my favorite way To spend my time most every day And now that I know you're with me It's twice the fun, just wait and see ! The new 2.0 hangtags are attached differently and are very difficult to apply a tag protector to. The extra tag with the name of the critter on it cannot be enclosed in the hangtag. Our TY products usually come with a tag protector but the 2.0 Beanies will not. He is in a plastic bag. All my Beanies come from a smoke free environment and have never been played with. All the kids love these beanies. I will say they are the softest beanies and cuddley. Shipping quoted includes priority mail with delivery confirmation.
