What can happen in 2 minutes?
As we were loading goats from the Red White and Boer Show last July, we loaded the 5 month old bucks into the front stall. As luck would have it, that door did not get completely latched.
We then led over a few little 5 month old girls to go into the next stall. We put them into the trailer without knowing that the door between them and the little boys was not completely latched (after all, the little boys were still where they belonged).
Each lap to get more animals was taking probably 2 or 3 minutes.
We went back for the next group of goats, and I was lagging a tad behind (not uncommon). When I got to the trailer Richard was in a very, very, very bad mood! The little boys that we had loaded first, had managed to get around the unlatched gate and into the stall with the little girls that we had loaded second.
I, of course, explained to Richard that he was being most unreasonable and dramatic and over-reacting in the most egregious way. After all, I explained, what can happen in 2 minutes!!
You know those 20 year stories that married couples have about each other. Well this is one of those stories that I am sure I would like to forget, and Richard will remember as long as time goes on.
This little guy is WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN 2 MINUTES!
