I'll take parts of her bed, and use it for the flooring for now. She'll have almost a year before she's going to be sleeping in it full time on the trail.
She was a crack up learning how to walk in those dog boots. Now, she waits for me to get my butt in gear.

She's a cutie! Lots more fur than mine. Jackson is crate trained but to him it's his home, not a punishment. He goes in only when we are gone for long periods, which isn't often. I've debated getting the boots. He's so neurotic about his feet though, I'm afraid he'd just chew them off!
(The first time I put my horse in boots, he forgot how to walk! )

I need something a LITTLE bigger...
We have been trying to come up with something for my big baby Cletus. He is a 9 month old 130lb Daniff (Great Dane/English Mastiff). In the warmer trips he has a nylon/fleece blanket that he sleeps on under the tarp with us. But as he has gotten bigger and are colder than normal trip last week we had to get a little more creative. We took my 25 year old 1 man Bivy tent and he pretty much destroyed it trying to get out of it. He is almost 3 feet tall at the shoulders. I think this design might work, if we up size it quite a bit. We have also talked about his own tarp, in either an A frame or lean to type.
Any giant dog ideas are greatly appreciated. The pics are from last weeks trip.

However I wonder if you could get away with out using the carbon fiber poles. I was thinking more of a teepee style tent. That could cut down on some weight. I't also prevent any rain from building up on the top of the doggie tent. Just some thoughts, again great job.

Thanks, but I had no part of the construction, just the design. Lilprincess and Nighthauk did a great job with the construction.

Awesome idea. I will be looking for the final design so I can try one out. I would try to make one myself now but with only seeing one and models I don't think I could do any better (much worse I would guess). Great job y'all!

Could you use the bug netting for the construction and then have the other material as a drape that is sewn from the top and you can roll it up and keep it up in the summer and then roll it down in case of rain or the cold.
