:) :) Excerpt from email from Beef's family:

.......from all the videos you put on the blog he was such a queit little guy and now he barks a lot. In the house when he either wakes or after he has been up for a while and we are still in the bed at 7:30 he starts to bark...worst time is when he goes out in the morning with Ike in tow he barks in the back yard when playing with Ike. I am almost sure that some barking is ok because he is trying to tell me something like I want water,cause I look and it's empty and as soon as I fill it he's over there gulping it down...or when he wants to eat...if I check my watch and it's need 8am or 6pm them it's time...or he wants to go out...sometimes there is no barking for that he stares at me and when i ask if he wants to go out he continues to stare until I get up and he heads to the door. But all in all there is a lot of barking,


(((sounds to me like he's a very smart Beefcake :) )))
