I really appreciate the feedback.
Having a bug net is pretty critical for the dog because the insects would otherwise carry him off. The weight savings of the pup tent is nice, because the dog can carry his own stuff. I also enjoy waking up in a hammock and looking out at the lake, or sunrise, or both. Hiding behind the mesh of my hammock inside the mesh of a pet palace seems kinda silly.

I also saw the Alcott Pup tent, which would be a great cheap option if I could find one in Canada. Purchasing through their web site and shipping cross boarder made them almost as expensive as the pup tent.
Sounds like I should do some dog booty shopping too!

Cheer.
