Blade is doing great!  He is certainly becoming quite comfortable with his new home and fits right in.  He was very well-behaved for the first month, and since he realizes he is staying here, he has become quite the food thief.  He has stolen food that was left on the counter, in the cabinet, and anything in the garbage.  He is so very affectionate and loves to lie on the couch with his head in one of our laps.  He also likes to play outdoors like my other Weim.  My husband and I had all 3 dogs outside playing in the snow yesterday and they had a blast!  He actually keeps himself occupied running in circles around us and the other dogs with a toy in his mouth.  He's not the best with playing fetch, but as long as he's happy, I am too.  The most comical thing that he does is stand at the front door and whine when he needs to go out.  The funny thing is that we let him out the back door, but we get the hint and we think it's cute.  Thanks for all your help bringing Blade into our family!

2/17/2011 Update on Blade. Blade is doing well. He is in good health and great spirits. We are working with a trainer to get his obedience in check and he is doing fantastic. He is such a smart dog--sometimes a little too smart. He has learned to open kitchen cabinet doors recently so we have gotten locks for them. He is a very affectionate boy and loves to cuddle which husband and I are always willing to accomodate.

He gets along great with our other 2 dogs particularly our other weim. We finally found some toys that he cannot destroy and enjoys chewing on so we are happy about that. He is still a bit overweight which we are working on--he steals food left on the counter and from the other dogs so it has been a challenge. Hopefully when the weather warms up he will enjoy longer runs which will make dropping the weight off a bit easier. Recent pictures of our boy Blade for you to enjoy!
