Beef's First Christmas!

We spent Christmas day at my(Mack) Aunt's house with my cousins and other friends and relatives. Beef got a new present from them and enjoyed hanging out with their old beagle Dudley. He was a charmer as always.


Beef Opens His Present.


His New Toy "Chew Me".


"Hey, why am I out here, and you are in there?" - Beef, outside while we eat.


Beef went at his wrapped present like a pro!

Beef Playing Catch

When we go to the dog park Beef is usually very occupied with playing with other dogs and not very interested in chasing after a ball. But we went the day after Christmas and had some alone time where he retrieved the ball for about 20 to 30 throws very well and efficiently returned it to me.

Here is a video where he is returning, but of course he gets distracted on his return. This was just about the last throw I did.




Here is Beef after a long day of playing snuggled up in a blanket.


He did some modeling at the park.

Beef and Orange Face Off!

Here Beef and his brother the cat Orange face off. Beef is always wanting to play with Orange like he's another dog friend of his from the park. Orange is usually pretty hostile toward Beef, but given the opportunity to really swat Beef hard with his claws, Orange has only been soft and playful. This Video shows Orange taking some swats, but not making any great contact.


The Stare Down.


Beef Chews on some Rope

Here beef is getting in some quality time while chewing away on one of his many toys. This toy is the classic rope with 2 knots.

jump beef, jump!

beef's eternal stuggle: to conquor the cat tree to reach his nemesis, Orange, resting peacefully, tho taunting him mercilessly at the top of the bookcase. beef cant quite get to level 2 & is pretty pissed about it.

Beef at the Beach - thanksgiving 2007

forgot to mention that for thanksgiving weekend, we took beef with us to Sanibel, Florida, to visit my parents.

beef likes the beach



he liked the sand, at least...the waves and water, not so much.

there was a moment, at a friends house, whos backyard had beach access, where we didnt notice beef had run off for about 5 minutes or so. after lookign all over the house & yard, we went to the beach, where there were plenty of people sunning themselves that holiday weekend, and found beef, diggin in the sand, sniffing all the stuff he could, with nobody even paying him any mind.

heres a few snaps mack took of beef being sleepy on the couch








here, beef enjoys the sand, diggin in crab holes.




he got very tuckered out at the end of the day, and here he is snoring.



and a few pics of us at the sunset



more videos for you to chew on!

beef has been a very busy puppy. and by busy, i mean that his daddy & i have been recording his every move, it seems.

here are some sparkly moments we've had lately!

first and foremost, this is the most awesome thing we've trained beef to do. (or has he trained us?) when beef needs to go potty, or just wants to go for a walk, he rings the bell on the doorknob.




were trying to make beef make other noises than barking when we ask him to "talk" here, he goes into some strange sneeze fit.



and here, he whimpers while hoping to get his green minty bone.



and here is beef chewing his kong to a bloc party remix.
