Yes, I have been asked that before, but it's not something that happens frequently. (I guess since I'm usually dogless when I meet people, that may have something to do with it.) Actually, the only people I can remember off hand asking that were in-laws...but they are all nosy anyway. They also like to ask questions like how much my house is worth, how much I bought my car for, and how much I make at work. (Nosy gits!)
In any event, I just skirt around the question. Ppl usually don't linger on it for long and take the hint without me having to come out and say, "that's really none of your business." |
