I am in & out of the kayak a lot (like to scavenge the shores) so I don't have the sciatia problems .. well, I do but not from Kayaking... my back would be terrible to be in the kayak for that many hours.

My kayak has held successfully one dog. Might need to get a bigger one. I have a Perception "swifty" & Old Town "otter" - both red & they are very similar in shape,draft etc.

My deck is very shallow, I almost wish it were 3-4" taller with a smaller cockpit. My leg can get really annoying, the first trip out is usually the worst on the legs as they cramp up so much. At least on a longer trip.

Scavenging shores is pretty fun. One of my paddling buddies has mastered that art! Seems like every half hour I am turning around to see how far behind he is.

I would love to have a dog, but I will wait a few years until I am somewhere a little more permanent. I'd like to get a canoe too, which would be better for a dog.
