I think he would kill a cyclist. His only flaw (other than shedding, which he can't help) is lease pulling. Sometimes. Like he'll walk nicely for an entire week with no effort and then pull like crazy on the next walk (same person walking). Or he'll be walking along nicely and then see a rabbit and take off. I need my husband to take him back to obedience school, I guess. He was 4 when he got him and the lease pulling came with him. I spent a lot of time working on it, but I'm not expert. Somebody just told me a bit of vinegar and water in a water bottle would train him out of that. I'm skeptical.
Might try the rollerblades though. Good idea. (for my husband)

He does NOT eat a lot of human food. But we've had him for two years, so I know what he likes. He only gets it after ear cleaning (he had ear mites and they take 6 weeks to get rid of).

I've appreciated the hints.
We just saw the vet. She said not to let him lose weight too quickly, but I failed to ask her what that means. I'd like to give him 10 weeks (until my due date)
to be back to his healthy weight. I just don't want to be worrying about it when I have a newborn. He could probably get away with just dropping 15 lbs and be okay. 20 better. but 15 okay.
I can try the weights too. He does walk a ton more in the summer. (started in March this year, really...such lovely spring weather!)
