Blade lives with Paul Barker and his best pal is "Tinky" Tankarla Wichinchala (daughter of my own "Gina" and her beau "Tanner").
Blade has mainly been concentrating on his obedience lessons, but will attend the occasional show. Blade recently attended his first show and boy did he have fun (my arms are still aching).
Update: Blade has been to a few shows now, mainly Belgian specialties, results below.
