2. The only being I've ever known..

to be bothered by church bells is my traumatized rescue dog, but he was terrified of absolutely everything after we brought him home. He had spent most of the first year of his life in a rural shelter, so every damn thing in our city neighborhood was new and terrifying, right down to planes flying over and, yes, church bells. We get them from two churches, each a block away, plus chimes from the state school for the blind about a quarter mile away. The chimes are particularly lovely, and I often try to time my morning walk so I’m walking nearby when they play. I love hearing all of them.

After ten years? The dog doesn’t give a darn about any of it. Took a looooong time and love, but not much phases him these days.
