By popular demand, our Sound of the Day featuring Pumpkin the Goat, sent in by Weekday listener Kurt in Kingston:

"We live on a couple of acres and have a number of farm animals, including an old male sheep and a retired dairy goat, orange in color, named Pumpkin. On a sunny, warm day, Pumpkin lays in the sun and makes the contented purring sound recorded in this clip. The sound is almost embarrassing to hear."
