About a month ago, the DC Roomie adopted a second dog from the Washington Animal Rescue League. Little Zeke is a pure-breed Jack Russell Terrier that was rescued from a puppy mill (she get’s Oprah’s seal of approval). Little Zeke has settled in great and is on the calm side for JRTs. His big sister, Miss Daisy acts like a bratty older sister but secretly adores him.

While discussing getting Zeke, we joked about starting a dog blog. It was meant to be a satire on baby blogs. I love seeing cute pictures of babies, but some people go way over the top with details about poop, throw-up or breast feeding. I want to remain ignorant of the gross details until I have kids. (For the record, I think Vol Abroad does a great job writing about Buddy).

DC Roomie started www.DaisyandZeke.com and began covering all of Zeke’s “firsts.” We thought it was hilarious. Everyone else just thought DC Roomie was a crazy dog owner. Then she found out that WARL is giving the link to new pet owners. It’s gotten slightly more educational now but then not everyone gets satires.

Longtime readers may remember that Daisy and Zeke are hardly the first ones to dogblog. Coco, the dog from the South, briefly had a blog several years ago in order to obtain a gmail account. (Amazing isn’t it, that a dog needed email?) However, like most things that Border Collies do, he quickly lost interest. He also found it hard to type without opposable thumbs.
