Meg, Is that Chloe as a puppy, or a puppy you’ve seen and you like?

I think if l got a puppy, l might be paranoid that someone would steal it. Isn’t it awful that you feel like that these days.

Re: What Do You Hanker For?

I hanker ( funny word ) for quiet and to hear birdsong aand to see the stars from my garden none of which I have .

I live in an over lighted housing estate so even on the darkest of nights I only see a handful of stars . I have 24 hr traffic noise as a busy main road passes my front door and 500 yds as the crow flies is a busy relief road so the traffic noise is loud . There are few trees and few birds but occasionally I hear a blackbird .

Yes I hanker for starlit skies , quiet peace and birdsong .

Susan, how comfortable would you feel taking a break somewhere quiet, like you describe? It sounds lovely!

Oooh Susan, that sounds very romantic but very sad in another way.

Perhaps, l should have used... ‘yearn’ instead of hanker?

Schnauzers are lovely - my friends have two. One thing I have noticed about them (the dogs, I mean) they have a very intense stare!

Re: What Do You Hanker For?

I yearn for the days of my youth purely because my Dad was still alive. I miss him so much every single day.
