eh, I get questions and stuff all the time...I have a VERY shy one, and a lot of people (mostly kids) will try to pet him without asking me. He will try to get away from them, and that'll usually give me the cue that he wants to not be touched. sometimes I will sit with him and allow kids to pet him, and other times I will tell the kids not to pet him, depending on how badly they've already traumatized him. It's difficult to not baby him, but to let him not freak out. I really don't let anything bother me. It's basically just people don't know your feelings, and they don't know that they're the 5 millionth person to ask you the same question, haha. Just don't let it bother you...it's really not that big a deal in the big scheme of things...
