smart doggie ?
Ok. So I feel a little better. The vet is going to come out (she sounds so nice!) and do a physical and all that he needs and make sure he has nothing physically wrong, im getting him a large run for good weather during the day, and I am going to try to get someone to keep an eye on the baby while I work with walking him. I cannot do both, for sure, and SO just isn't home enough for me to add him into my plans. I already keep him well stocked with things to chew/play with so hopefully more walking (with some sort of walking apparatus, I have a flat collar on him now) and some time and he can be part of the family.
Tractor Supply regularly puts their dog run/kennels on sale. The better one to get is the non-chain-link for that size dog. I had a dog that would slam into the chain link over and over in his exuberance, and eventually tore the chain link away and walked out. Here's the one I recommend that goes on sale for less than $300 (wow sale price is only $249):
Doc Bob® Professional Kennel, Extra Large Breed, 5 ft. W x 10 ft. L x 6 ft. H - 3606033 | Tractor Supply Company
and you can add in extra panels to make it whatever size you want:

When I found myself being walking a dog that outweighed me by quite a bit, I bought him a harness. After that I could walk that dog instead of him dragging me. We had a few tests of it at first, and I just stood my ground and didn't move. Once he accepted that, we had no problems walking with it.
