Here are some much lighter solo tents that you might want to investigate:

From Tarptent.com:
Contrail, 27.5 oz, $209
Notch (double wall) 26 oz. $275
Moment DW (double wall) 35 oz. $285

From SixMoonDesigns.com:
Skyscape Scout 34 oz. $125
Skyscape Trekker 24 oz. $225
Lunar Solo LE 30 oz. $180
Lunar Solo 24 oz. $215

These makers also sell a variety of lightweight 2-person tents. Some of Tarptent's are double-wall, if this concerns you (I personally prefer single-wall).

I've found most of these tents quite roomy for 1 person plus 75-lb. dog. Do note that I haven't tried all of them, though.
