The second book about Tabor the Terrierble. A delightfully rhyming, illustrated book for all ages, sure to make you want to make friends with a playful fox terrier!

Small to medium-sized terrier dogs, Wire Fox Terriers are named for their unique wiry or rough coat. Extremely active, bright, and joyful, this breed is a joy to be around. The physical characteristics that make Wire Fox Terriers stand out include their proportionate build, expressive skull, and petite V-shaped ears. They stand between 15.5 and 18.5 inches (39 and 47 cm) at the shoulder and have a docked tail. These dogs were initially developed in England for the purpose of fox hunting; their small stature and quickness made it possible for them to follow foxes even into their tunnels. Today, they are popular as companion animals and in dog shows, noted for their alert, outgoing, and sociable demeanor. They need physical activity and mental challenge on a daily basis to thrive. While both the Wire and Smooth Fox Terrier belong to the Terrier Group in dog shows, the Wire Fox Terrier is distinguished by its longer, wirier coat. Personality and activity levels are two areas where the two breeds overlap.

Long ago, Dogmama told me and my littermates there comes a time when every puppy must have his very own family. Dogs are loved by people for many reasons, and it is one of the most wonderful things in the entire world when a human pack or family comes to our kennel to find some of its happiness. A puppy is very lucky to be matched with his own person or family who will love him forever. With these thoughts, I prayed to Saint Bernard for my very own family. Eventually, they came, and in the fourteen-plus years I shared with them, my life had both wonderful and miserable times. The hardest thing was learning right and wrong. Fortunately, Angelo Wingsandhalo, a tiny Wire Fox Terrier with wings and a halo, came to me when I needed the most help. What he said made sense. However, his archrival, Lucifer Hornsandtail, said things that got me into mischief but were far too good to ignore. If I could remember, did I always do what was good as Angelo taught me, or did I usually prefer to have a mischievous time as Lucifer encouraged me to do? I am JellyBean. This is my story. Not a word of it is untrue.
