Luckily for the young squirrel, she was rescued by a nice family, and though she’d only meant to stay until she was a little older and stronger, she ended up staying for life.

Jill realized that life with her new family was pretty sweet.

Now it’s been seven years since Jill moved in, and she is thriving.

And when it comes down to laying down for a good night’s rest, Jill’s trusty teddy is bound to make an appearance. The tiny teddy is her permanent sleeping partner and she loves to snuggle up to it and clutch it tight to her chest.
