Attention Required

If you’re petting Chalupa, you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. If you stop petting Chalupa, she’ll gently remind you of your mistake. Usually with her head. Repeatedly.

Chalupa was one of five abandoned puppies we found together in 2025. She was also the first one to look directly into our eyes. That moment lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough. Since then, she’s grown into a loyal adventure companion, professional cuddle enthusiast, and firm believer that personal space is largely optional. Whether she’s exploring a trail, camping under the stars, or climbing into someone’s lap uninvited, Chalupa approaches life with complete confidence and an unlimited supply of affection.

Life According To Chalupa

The First Look

When we found the puppies, Chalupa was the first one to look directly into our eyes. Less than a year later, she still wants to be as close as possible, preferably sitting on someone’s lap, regardless of her actual size. Some things never change.

Always Ready

Even as a puppy, Chalupa approached every camping trip like she had been training for it her entire life. Alert, curious, and ready for whatever adventure might be hiding around the next corner.

A Growing Lady

Every puppy eventually grows up. Some just do it with a little extra dignity, a fashionable diaper, and absolutely no intention of slowing down.

Certified Sweetheart

Playful, loyal, affectionate, brave, and endlessly loving. If Chalupa had a life philosophy, it would probably be simple: Stay close to your people, enjoy every adventure, and never miss an opportunity to ask for one more belly rub.
