Today's Daily Parker

Seems like a reasonable guess, though a 41% increase in 1 month doesn't lead to the conclusion that at this rate of expansion he'd be as large as the universe in a few months. Assuming he continues a 41% increase in mass every month for the rest of his life, he would weigh 1,066 pounds on his first birthday, which would make getting him down the elevator a bit problematic. Maybe the service elevator? And I'd love to see video of a 1K-lb Parker running down the hall from the living room to the master bedroom. What's more troubling is that on his second birthday, he'd weigh over 33 tons. At 32 months he'd weigh over 1MM pounds, and at age 4 1/2 "Little" Parker would cross the 1MM-ton threshold. Continuing out to ten years, your puppy would weigh almost 16 quintillion pounds, or just under 8 quadrillion tons. Assuming he lives to be at least 15 years old, which for his smaller size isn't impossible if you feed him properly and continue to give him daily exercise, he would weigh over 15 octillion pounds, or 7.7 septillion tons. Perhaps my prefixes are incorrect, in which case his weight would be 15.4 followed by 26 0's pounds. At that point I'm not sure how you'd feed or exercise your dog - and I'd be curious how the city would license such a massive pup. He'd become his own significant gravity well, too. Fascinating. Well, this has been a pleasant exercise in geekdom.

I think 55 pounds will be a reasonable estimate for Parker's actual end weight. Keep in mind he won't get there until around 18 months. And it's too bad he won't meet Ernie. We'd enjoy the playtime between them.
