Often when planing thin stock when using a dog as a stop the piece may flex or the plane can cause the dog to lower and then there is no stop.
Then an idea came my way to hold the dog up. First the the dog needed a kerf:

This was cut into the dog so it would end up shorter than the piece being worked.
The shim stock was so thin it needed to be folded over to stay in the kerf:

It actually worked quite well:

The shim was still too thin. When the dog was going to be put away, the shim fell out into a bunch of shavings on the floor. Maybe next time it well get folded over an additional time or maybe some thicker shim stock is hiding in my scrap box.
