Nope, you keep sheep in a pen, or a barn.
Or if you're lucky, the kitchen.

You also keep a goat in a stable, to keep the horse company.
As early as the 1700s, goats were used as companion animals to help settle race horses, keeping the notoriously skittish animals relaxed. Taking a horse's pet goat away would have agitated and upset the animal, potentially influencing the outcome of a race.
The practice of providing race horses with companion animals is still widespread, with horses bonding with ponies, chickens, dogs, and a variety of other animals in addition to goats. Many horses do indeed become deeply attached to their companions, exhibiting considerable stress when these animals are removed. Someone taking away a companion animal could negatively impact a horse's performance, and such incidents may have inspired the idiom “gets my goat” among observers.

What makes you believe that? I think it's quite the opposite.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

That's a good time!
The really awkward moment is when you realize that what you just released is complete elephant poo. And it's too late to call it back...

Had one, two weeks ago, of another type, but still in the family:
I needed to work on an upgrade and had to be on the production server. When I do this, I generally make a duplicate copy of the relevant pages (this is html/php/sql/javascript) and suffix the file-name with "_X".
So, I created HR_PTO_Request_X.php and started at it. (PTO is 'Paid Time Off' and this is HR's version for specialized access). The call comes in from HR, some days later, that the page is a mess and not showing the correct names.
So, looking into it I realize that when I created the original version of this, it was cloned from the employee version, but, as its capabilities were extended, I suffixed it with _X.
Mea elephanting culpa
Fortunately, a copy of the original was very handy. I also changed my suffixing convention to "_vN", and will serialize N.
