NOVA Chaz Meetup hike photos

Jacksonsmom, Redhotdobe (and her bf) and I met up for a Chaz hike through the Manassas battlefield today. We had a blast and I can't wait to do it again.

We walked about 7 miles and had Cricket, Joey, Rumor and Jackson with us.

photo time!!!!! Jacksonsmom took all these photos on her phone and I edited them for fun. We didn't bring our nice cameras this time around. Majority of these photos were from the end of the hike over by this old building called Stone House. The Stone House is supposedly insanely haunted and is a neat old building.

Don't mind Joey's sad face. He was just upset that we were trying to make him sit still since all he wanted to do was bounce.

Come on Joeyyyyy... we were trying so hard to get his ears back up for this one.

Beautiful Rumor. This dog is awesome and a total drama queen... she wasn't too happy when Joey hit her in the face with a super big branch... she almost died.

Jackson!!!!! He's so funny. He was so quiet the whole time, but he was a champion on the hike and he probably would have been willing to do it at least two more times.

Another attempt at a Joey and Cricket photo again with Joey looking pathetic...

Me attempting to get them interested in treats so they would look at the camera... it worked, but Joey still looked like I just beat him... *sigh*

My favorite group photo even though Joey still looks like I am going to punch him and Rumor is doing it wrong... I was going for an older photo look on some of these because we were on a civil war battlefield.

Photo Fail


The bitches are doing it wrong


Rumor that's NOT how we do it!


This is what a lot of the photo attempts looked like LOL


No I do not want you to point that camera thing in my face... hmmphhh...


The End!

You are brave!!! It was FREEZING today!

Super cute pictures though Hopefully next time Miss Lucybug can join in the fun! I really want to go back to the Virginia Arboretum again (acres and acres of legal off leash space!!!)

We should totally do that!!!! and ya it was freezing today. I was going to put coats on my dogs and brought the coats with just in case, but they weren't acting like they were cold at all and probably from walking so much. Rumor started shivering towards the end of the hike though she got her coat. You have to come next time. I'm going to try and do these types of hikes maybe 2 times a month if possible.

Awesome pictures! Love the Beezer.

Thank you so much. He's the biggest derp dog ever!!!! Jacksonsmom and Redhotdobe can now testify to this lol.

Great pictures! I am jealous - looks like fun! I have the same problem with getting Bailey to perk her ears up for pics... Usually I say "kittykittykitty" which usually works, or make random weird noises which are nice and embarrassing lol

Those are fun looking photos, and I'm SO glad to see you taking pics again, Amber

Thanks. I didn't take these pics though lol. Jacksonsmom did. I just edited them. I'm thinking I may bring my camera next time though...

I looooveeee these! Hey not too shabby for a cell phone pic! lol. I love the editing you did. I'm gonna do a couple of my favs too, and see what I can do with them. I wish I had my dslr but it's too annoying to carry. I actually thought it was a good temp for hiking, I prefer it to be cold vs. hot! LOL. So does Jackson. We had a lot of fun. Jackson and Cricket seemed to remember each other, in the beginning they were all like 'OH HAI!' And yes Joey is a big derp. Jax looked at him a few times and wasn't sure whether to join in, or stay far far away hahaha.

Love all the pictures, looks like so much fun! Joey and his sad ears are hilarious and Rumor's refusal to look at the camera made me laugh. Cricket and Jackson are adorable as always.

They're so cute! It looks like so much fun.

And I love the faces Joey makes when you're trying to make him pose. Too funny. LOL

They all look adorable! Wish Boo could've been there.

I think the one of Rumor sitting backwards and just Jackson's tail is my favorite, haha. I want to go again!

what a great set of photos--quite a crew!

Ahh I'm so jealous!! I wish I love near you all, you guys have so many meet ups!

Great pics! I'm glad you all had a good time.

Great pics! Hopefully I'll be able to come to the next meetup. Work prevented me from coming to this one. :/

Great pics! I'm so jealous of all the NoVa Chazzers- there are so many of you, and you have some epic places to hike.

Those are great pictures! I wouldn't have known they were from a cellphone if you didn't say so. Joey's woeface cracks me up, as does Rumor's refusal to face the camera. Jackson is adorably handsome, and surprisingly bigger than I thought he'd be next to the other dogs!
