Final design = rear rack with panniers and one of these on top:
my stupid dog is permanently standing up anyway, and rarely lies down, so not having the space for her to do that is not a problem at all. I'll bodge something to let me fix the bag to the rack and take it off for train journeys.
If we go further afield with more gear, I'll invest in a big dummy and a basket on top like those bike gypsy folks (great read, by the way).
That trailer is pretty cool.
