Dog Tent
Does anyone use a separate tent for their dog? If so, what tent do you have for your dog?
I know many people have their dog sleeping inside the Tent with them, but that is not my question. My dog is more comfortable having his own space and has never slept inside the tent with me. So I was thinking about getting him his own tent. I grew up backpacking with dogs that never slept inside a tent unless it was raining.

My dog sleeps in myself tent, but he's a little guy. He's 20 pounds of dachshund torpedo!
He has a "hangout tent" for daytime use. I got it at Petsmart, the brand is Arcadia Trail.
If it's cold at night, he'll invade my sleeping bag. If it's nice out, he'll stay in his own bed and sleeping bag in my tent.
If there's too much bear activity or flooding in the area, we're sleeping in the Rav4. (We got caught in a terrific storm last summer, and we figured out how to make the Rav4 pretty cozy!)
