As stated in the earlier thread, I had to make a stand-off from the front seat to move the shade patch far enuf to do my pup any good. Also, a fishing guide on another forum suggested soaking a heavy towel and putting it down for her to lay on. Just happen to have a dedicated towel for her rub-down after a bath, so it joined us on the Withlacoochee River yesterday.

It's low enuf to be unobtrusive when running and the patch of shade is just the right size for my 45# dog. It's also high enuf for her to have a clear view of everything. She went back and forth some with nose going 90 mph in the breeze.
I REALLY HATE THE PICTURE ATTACHMENT SYSTEM ON THIS FORUM. IT CONSISTENTLY REFUSES TO PUT THE 1ST PICTURE WHERE i WANT IT TO GO. I'VE SAID THIS REPEATEDLY. It took 4 tries today and had to start over once. DO SOMETHING.
In the 2nd picture, it was a lot warmer - over 90° with humidity way up there, so she pretty much parked her butt on the towel and stayed under the shade. The experiment is a complete success. When running at 20 mph, the umbrella doesn't move much at all. When I needed to go forward, it pushes out of the way enuf to get by and it's easy to retract anyway.
