Don’t know if there’s been panic buying of these little guys, but there ought to be.
Dozens have popped up in my neighborhood, including a group having a tea party. The kids love them. (See this story from the New York Times.)
My store, which has a toy section, didn’t have any in stock, so I just ordered one from Amazon. In the meantime, a neighbor has loaned me a dalmation puppy, who’s perched in the front window.
