<span style="font-size: large;">During her last years, this caused her to be in a “wheelchair” that Grammy’s son, Robert, built out of P V C pipe and Rollers. With this, she could still run around the property with the rest of us doing “squirrel patrol,” which meant checking every place where something could hide and then chasing it if something came out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

We are a little late on posting about it, but you still have about a week to get an entry in, and the prize is a Picture book with all kinds of funny Pet pictures in it! You can read about the contest <a href="http://cocos2cute.blogspot.com/2011/11/coco-bean-nose-awkward-family-pet.html" style="color: blue;">HERE</a>:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://cocos2cute.blogspot.com/2011/11/coco-bean-nose-awkward-family-pet.html"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The name of the book is, “Awkward Family Pet Photos.” It is what is called a “coffee table” book. We don’t have a coffee table because Grammy very rarely drinks coffee, and she drinks her tea while at her desk! You can read Coco’s book review and learn more about the book at the blog about the contest. MMMmmm...

PeeMail your Awkward family Pet Photo to Coco, no later than November 15th, 2011. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. The Awkward Family Pet Photo must be of you (or those of your litter) and your Human or human relative. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. Photos of furkids other than yourself will not be entered into the contest as she has no way of checking that they are REALLY your relatives and that you have permission to post them.</span><br />
