As much as Lupe enjoys exploring the Black Hills of South Dakota with SPHP, there is a big wide world beyond the Black Hills full of exciting scents and scenes very much worth experiencing.\u00a0 So every now and then, Lupe and SPHP head out on a Dingo Vacation to see the world, or at least a piece of it not normally within reach.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>
Lupe heads out on her 1st big Dingo Vacation ever (all the way to the Pacific!) in early August 2012. This trip Lanis was with\u00a0Lupe & SPHP, and\u00a0she rode\u00a0in comfort in the back of his Honda Element.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most Dingo Vacations are very low budget affairs that involve\u00a0a preponderance of\u00a0overnight car camping, perhaps a tent if\u00a0SPHP is lucky enough to come across a\u00a0dispersed camping site, or on rare occasions a cheap motel, cabin, or a even a stay with friends or relatives in the lap of luxury.<\/p>\n

As a little puppy, Lupe was terrified of riding in the car.\u00a0 Her first car ride was one dark cold February night when she was placed in a cage and\u00a0taken away from her mother and brothers and sisters at two months old. \u00a0However,\u00a0Lupe eventually outgrew\u00a0her fear\u00a0once she figured out that a ride in the car wasn’t always\u00a0going to be scary.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0Lupe\u00a0came to\u00a0realize that a\u00a0ride in the\u00a0G6\u00a0almost always meant something\u00a0fun was going to happen.\u00a0 Lupe loves\u00a0to ride\u00a0now.\u00a0 Not many things can beat hanging your head out the window with the wind in your face, while you\u00a0cruise effortlessly along faster than any Dingo could possibly run!<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

Lupe gets excited and knows when a car ride is going to be the start of a Dingo Vacation.\u00a0 SPHP fills the passenger side front seat of the G6\u00a0with stuff needed for the trip, and piles on a bunch of soft pillows and blankets for Lupe to lay on.\u00a0 The result is that Lupe rides shotgun up even with the dash so she can see out the windows.\u00a0 The passenger side window gets partially rolled down so she can stick her nose out to\u00a0sniff the air any time she chooses.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

Once under way, Lupe is bright and alert, for she has important and exciting duties.\u00a0 She\u00a0keeps watch\u00a0for anything that might possibly be a horse, cow, or deer to bark at.\u00a0 Haystacks look suspicious and get barked at, too.\u00a0 Barns and other outbuildings\u00a0smell suspicious.\u00a0 Lupe knows there must be a cow or two hiding around there somewhere.\u00a0 For Lupe, riding in the G6 can be an exhausting experience.\u00a0 700 miles of frenzied barking across Montana is no easy chore!<\/p>\n

Often SPHP likes to take unfamiliar back roads, just to see what is out there.\u00a0 So Lupe gets to visit some out of the way places.\u00a0 In general, if not heading to see relatives, the goal is to see and experience the beautiful rivers and streams, mountains, forests, lakes, prairies, hills, valleys and ridges of the natural world.\u00a0 Lupe has even made it to the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

Of course, most of\u00a0the time is not spent driving.\u00a0 (That costs money!)\u00a0 Mostly a\u00a0Dingo Vacation involves\u00a0lots of hikes and exploring, tons of sniffing, plenty of barking and running around, high hopes that there will be a squirrel in the very next tree, and best of all just being together outdoors doing things Lupe and SPHP both love.\u00a0\u00a0At times Dingo Vacations\u00a0can be short on comforts, but\u00a0Lupe and SPHP\u00a0are still having the time of\u00a0their lives.<\/p>\n
