Full Name: Zeke
Everyone Calls Me: Zeke, Zekey Doodle, Zook, Ziki Barber,
Age: 6
Gotcha Day: October 15, 2006
Who I Own or Live With: David, Margie & Jessica
Hometown: Damascus, Maryland
How Long I have been a Part of the Wiener Writings Family: Mom & Dad first found the WW Board 10 years ago. I've been here since 2002.
I am a Tweenie:
Weight (Only if you want to share): 15 lbs
Hair Color: Blue / Tan
Coat Type: Smooth
Eye Color: Brown
Favorite Person/People: I love all people!
Favorite Toy: Zora
Favorite Treat: Getting petted. Zeke is one of the few dachshunds who is unmotivated by food...affection, though, is a whole different story.
Favorite Things or Favorite Things to Do: Getting petted
Least Favorite Thing to have done or to do: Butt Squeeze
Where I Sleep at Night: In a crate with my sister Zora
I am a Hunter/Huntress -- Yes or No: Yes. I am a ferocious hunter (Dad here…Zeke is more like the Keystone Cops of hunters, all bark, no substance).
What I do when my Hoomans are away: Zzzzzz
Story about me that my Hoomans would like to share: We're pretty convinced that in their original home, their hoomans never passed gas. Zeke is utterly terrified of farts and runs like heck when anyone passes gas, which seems to be a favored pastime in the Cohen household. It's gotten to the point where when Zeke acts up, all we have to say is "Don't make me fart" and he stops his behavior.
Story that I want to share about my Hoomans: For some reason, Dad thought that my barkday was May 12. He's even posted on the WW Board that was my barkday. When Dad got the license renewal papers for me this fall, he realized that he's had my barkday wrong. My actual barkday is May 24, 2002. We're still not sure where he got May 12th from.
Here are the pics:

Luv,
Happy Dog Star of the Day, Zeke! I am so glad you like affection better than food - nice to know one dachsie, at least, is the exception to prove the rule! The pictures of you and Zora snoozing are so cute. :thumb:

I don't. I'm not too surprised. Max's former owners seldom checked in on him. Giving up the Zs was very traumatic for Yamisi. Sometimes it's easier to just shut those memories off than to have to reopen the wounds again.
Zeke....you are so handsome, what do you call your color?......besides GRAY.
HAPPY STAR OF THE DAY ZEKE. YOU ARE ONE BEAUTIFUL BOY :heart: :heart:
[/b]Hope you got lots of special belly rubs and smoochies on your special day :apls: :apls:
Thats one beautiful pup ya gots there
Happy Star of the Day Zeke. Many belly rubs and treats to ya brother!
Parker here: I sees I got more competition with the ladies. geez
I had a broder that was scared of farts. Every time he farted, he launched himself across the room. My hoomans used to roll on the floor laughing. Sometimes they was mean and used to give him yummies that would make him a little gassy.

Aww, that is mean. Zeke isn't scared of his own farts, just hooman farts. He takes off, and then sits down about 15 feet from you with a very insulted look on his face.
What a handsome sleek boy you are Zeke! I love the sleepy pics with your sister.... Have a happy happy day being the star sweet boy!

How cruel to purposely scare him like that!
Happy Star of the Day Zeke!!! You are one handsome dude! I loved reading all about you.
I'm a little behind...so I hope you had a great Star of the Day. You are one handsome dude!!
Zeke - you little toot :2funny: you cracked me up about your Fear of the Farts !!!! Will have to look at your cute face when I get home. Happy Star of the Day - you deserve it !!!!
Happy Star of the Day Zeke!!!!!!!
Hope you and Zora got some great treats and hugs for your special day.
Merion & the ZZ's
I had a friend who's chocolate lab was afraid of his OWN toots. He'd pass gas then look back at his butt with a look of panic, like something had pinched him back there. It's pretty funny to watch.
I can't see your pictures, Zeke, but you're a very handsome boy, I know, from seeing them before! Happy Star Day!
Wishing you a Belated "Star of the Day", Zeke. You are one handsome doxie. Hope you had a wonderful day filled with treats and belly rubs.
Annie & the New Jersey Doxie Gang
David his colour always has fasinated me, and has a stunning pose, peaceful. As for farts Angus used to get up look at you in disgust and walk away.
hope your day is a great one.
Roberta
For Patty and Roberta, Zeke is considered a blue/tan. However, his coat is so thin, that most of the time you see his grey skin pigment. Zeke's sire was a straight blue and his dam looked just like Zora. In person, he looks a bit more blue than the pictures indicate. Zeke's color always attracts comments. Even though Zora far more closely adheres to the breed standard, Zeke's color always makes him stand out. Physically, Zeke is a bit misproportioned. He has a giant front section followed by a teeny little caboose, and we have yet to find a dachsie with a larger set of ears!
Happy <late> Star of the Day, Zeke! I just love how snuggly you are with your sister! Stay away from those wicked stinkys! Boy, you'd never make it our house! We're the rootin-tootinest bunch around! Lots of belly rubs to you!
