I'm ready for my close-up

The Adventures of Killer and Fruitbat...

...and Moose!

After reading Cathy's comment to our previous post (Simon Update) about how Simon's big soft snout reminds her of a moose I realized that was his perfect nickname. MOOSE!

Had to have been because of this pic.


Yeah... Moose he is. :)

Simon Update

Time for an update! I am happy to report that Simon is much healthier and adjusting well to life with me and the gang. His skin conditions are clearing up (no more sores!!!!) and he's gaining weight. His male parts come off in a couple weeks when he's had a chance to really heal from being on the street for so long. Ear infections are clearing up, but they'll both need to be irrigated when he's down for his neutering before they really can improve.

So, enough vet stuff. I think some pics are in order!

First few days... We went up to visit Les's dad in Kacy, about 45 min north. He has a modern log cabin, and Simon appreciated the AC. He still smelled horrible even after I spent 45 min giving him a bath, but I didn't realize just how bad his skin was yet. Still looked as handsome as any dog I have seen, though. :)

Les's dad 's pooch, KC (the one Les and I got for him after his Aussie Sara died) LOVED Simon. They became fast friends.


After a medicated bath at the vet, Simon no longer smelled like dog barf and pound, and felt a LOT better. He even decided that all of Feo's toys were his. Well, the ducks, anyway. He always tries to fit as many in his mouth as he can. Here he is proudly displaying his two catches of that particular day.


It didn't take him long to master "the look."


NOSE!!!


Everybody, even weiner dogs just melt when they meet The Simonator.


His best buds are definitely Feo and Herman. This is a shot from the front seat of my Subaru as we left for a couple days away last weekend.


Living with Feo full-time seems to have allowed the two to forget he outweighs her 8:1. (Sorry so grainy)


Size still matters though (he does let her win on occasion).


Who needs toys when you have each other?


Feo is thrilled to have the playmate...


...and I think Simon is, too. (Handsome boy!!!)


I think he knows where he's been and that he's safe now. :)

Lesley got Simon the new door mat. :)

Peanut Butter Delight Doggy Birthday Cake

Herman (9) and Feo (6) celebrated their birthdays today by sharing a doggie birthday cake with Simon. Herman, in top form, managed to gulp his piece and Feo's in nanoseconds. Simon was quick enough to snarf his own piece of cake down before Herman the Hoover moved in.

Here's a video of them on their second helping later on. Note how Feo so graciously shared with Herman.

It's tough being a 9 year old Corgi. But I'll make it, I think if I get some more cake.
