Funny/embarrasing moments with your critters

[egoldstein]

As for close calls, one time as a teen on the farm I had one of those rare days when everyone else was gone doing something, so was spending some time with my favorite sow. We were well engaged when the shed door popped open and the farmer appeared in the doorway and I knew I was busted! I hopped off real quick and jumped over the fencing, only to startle him; he'd come in from the bright sunshine into the relative darkness of the shed and his eyes hadn't adjusted to spot me!
I started keeping one eye on the driveway after that day.
