He gives that dog at least five treats everyday, from the time he gets home
from work, until bedtime, just for nothing.

Get really small treats or cut/break them up. That way he can give treats,
Merlin probably won't care, and they won't contribute as many calories.

But don't let him give more treats.

And, going on 17 days without a smoke. I keep myself busy during the
daytime. Late night is the hardest for me. My 'winding down' couple of
smokes. Still miss them like hell. (

Good going! I missed smoking for several months, but the desire gradually
diminished and by the end of a year or so revulsion at the idea had pretty
much wiped out any desire. See if you can find something else you enjoy to
'wind down.' (Train yourself to substitute a desirable behavior for an
undesirable one.)
