More: When I got Elly Mae almost two years ago, she was scared of her own shadow -- she used to hide in the corner and only creep out if I consciously didn't move for 5+ minutes. Now Elly Mae travels the country with me as a true digital nomad, exploring each new stop with enthusiasm if still a bit of judicious suspicion. As you can see in this photo, she absolutely loves the snow -- probably because she doesn't have to bring back a snow ball in order for me to throw another!
