Hankering – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, how come your head is stuck all the way inside the big cold box?

Me: I’ve got a hankering for something to eat, but I don’t know what.

Sweetie: Can I have a hankering? It sounds delicious.

Doodlebug: Me, too! Me, too! Are hankerings crunchy?

Me: The hankering is your want-to. The desire. The hunger.

Doodlebug: I’ve got all of that.

Sweetie: Yeah, hand it over, whatever it is.

MoonCat: Be careful what you hanker after.
