Sitting here bottle-feeding this orphaned baby squirrel is reminding me of the fourteen baby bunnies mom and I found and cared for when I was a little girl. I remember begging (although it didn't take much) to be their foster family and mom so easily giving in. It was hard work but making it through those first few months of their life feeding them with an eye dropper and transitioning to food before releasing them into the wild was one of the most incredible things to experience as a child and something we still talk about today. Just now I sent mom a photo of the baby squirrels here, and without hesitating she offered to take them in, care for them, feed them, and love them until the time comes to let them go. I love you mom. A photo posted by Nikki Reed (@iamnikkireed) on Mar 10, 2016 at 2:18pm PST
