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. :)

I love the first picture, he has his own "corgi smile" down. and the picture of the 3 of them in the car just made my day!!! Love them all though. Great pictures.
Aww, I'm so glad everyone is getting along and happy! :)
Thanks for all the great news and adorable pics of the gang...that last shot of Simon and the new door mat is just wonderful :-)
Notice that Simon knows instinctively that he's supposed to retrieve ducks. That's cool, even if you can't cook the ducks for dinner.
Glad he's feeling better and smelling better.
That big soft snout on Simon reminds me of a moose. I'm glad to see he can tell the difference between Feo and a stuffed duck. I suspect Feo wouldn't appreciate being carried around in Simon's mouth....even if his mouth is soft.
MOOSE! I think that would be a great nickname for Simon. The Adventures of Killer and Fruitbat + Moose!
