A Ceramic Bell Ring

I pushed past the entryway draft and trotted outside to check the garden path! Right in the soil beside the porch steps, a tiny unglazed terracotta pot was tipped completely upside down like a hollow bell. I tapped its curved rim with my front paw—*clink*! A tiny gray pebble dislodged from the drainage hole on top and rattled right inside the chamber. I crouched low, poked my nose against the rough clay curve, and shoved it with my belly! It wobbled and rolled in a slow circle across the dark mulch, chiming with every turn!
