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

I'll keep mine in the stable, if you don't mind. ;P

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.

Intelligent women lurve code monkeys! We're reliable, generally practical and are low maintenance [except for things with lights and beeps]. AFAIK, the majority of the IT professionals I know are married or, with the younger ones, in stable relationships. Griff is married AND in a stable relationship. And a field relationship too.

Most of everyone is single tongued. Except white men, of course -- their tongues are forked.

What makes you believe that? I think it's quite the opposite.
