I can understand why, and I've tried it, but I am a truly terrible liar and I'm sure that my evasive answers just make people think I must be a drug dealer or something equally dodgy. So as I always fessed up in the end, I just started to 'come out' from the start. On the plus side, it's quite the conversation stopper if you're ever desperate to shut someone up.

An ancient arthritic springer spaniel, 'inherited' from a friend that was unable to keep him for health reasons.
