Unfortunately, that is what I keep encountering and sure it makes the dog warm, but then I can not close bag, stay on mat, keep myself warm, and consequently sleep. I have reconsidered the dog issue again and after taking Bella for a 34.5 miles three day trip from Damascus to Grayson Highlands/Massie Gap on the AT, I think she is not ready for anything that difficult and long, so my dog issue is resolved. If I were taking her I would definitely get a 2 person bag like the FF spoonbill....you would both sleep well and that is way important on such a long hike. Good luck neweyes and I will cook you dinner when you and the pooch catch us.
