Take him to the vet! Unexplained weight gain (or inability to lose weight even on a reduced-calorie diet) can be a sign of hypothyroidism or diabetes.

It feels like my Flash keeps getting bigger. He may not be, but he's definitely not losing weight either. I have tried the green beans and pumpkin and yogurt and he won't touch the beans or yogurt and if I do the pumpkin too many days in a row, he gets sick of it. 

He gets a cup of food in the evening because we aren't home during the day, so we think it's mean to feed him and then leave him home alone and not able to go out and do his business. His Golden Retriever brother doesn't always empty his dish and in the morning I'll wake up hearing Flash eating that kibble too. 

I'm not sure what else to do for him, but he's such a big boy and I'm getting worried. 
Any suggestions?
