Nature in New York City

It is important to give your dog opportunities to play with people.

The Games Man: Fishing is his sole form of exercise - but he considers it bad form to move more than his wrist when casting.

"Ahhh... close enough."

Playing Fetch.

"It's official"..."It's a drought!"

'Let the creepy crawly hunt begin!'

The Busy Gardener

'Are you sure that's the right map?'

"Davina McCall: Life at the Extreme takes a celebrity to the most extreme places on Earth!"

'Boy, the fish are really biting today, aren't they, Fred?'

"Don't worry, dear. You'll grow."

'So let me see if I've got it straight. It was a very large squirrel and your husband is a nut.'

'I stay trim because of high metabolism. Theirs, not mine.'

"Where else in the world would you get such wonderful sunsets?"

'So far, I've taught him to fetch.'

Wildlife

The experienced backpacker.

'Not that net!'

'Remember only you can prevent forest fires.'

"You say it all the time, so I climbed every tree to prove it. You were right, money doesn't grow on trees."

'My feet are killing me.'

"...and what really makes this story scary is the kittens got lost in the woods before flea and tick products were invented."

'Wow, the field really is a frozen tundra!'

"You go on in, I’m just going to catch up with the moon for a few minutes."

"You've been so good to us all these years. Is there anything we can do to repay you?"

"Think you're pretty manly, eh? OK, put the gun down and let's have a fair fight."

Chase me, chase me cows.

'Call for you on the cream corn line.'

Squirrel Chasing a Dog

Take seat. Nothing makes me happier than keeping people warm and cooking s'mores for them. Friendly fire.

"They're wearing cameras. How humiliating."
