More: Nellie is my very best pal and constant companion. She loves exploring, chasing squirrels, and waiting for me on the trail if she gets too far ahead. Nell never says no to an adventure, whether it’s a road trip or a 12 mile trail. She just wants to be with her people, so I never worry when she runs after a furry critter. She knows the way back!
