Pip, Pop and Pug: The Pipe Cleaner Family

This is the story of Pip, Pop and Pug, the Pipe Cleaner Family. They live in Ottawa, Canada, and recently experienced the worst winter imaginable. Spring hasn't been much better. In the background of certain images, you will notice a curious creature of the toddler variety.

Pip is so sick of shoveling snow

It never ends....the piles just get bigger

Almost as though the snow drifts have a life of their own...

WHAT THE...the snow DOES have a life of its own!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!

"It's a Snowdrift Monster! Save yourself Pug!!!"

"Gahhh, Mfffgggrrllll"

"Jesus Pug, could I get a little help here?"

After a lengthy battle, Pip reigns as Queen over the now melted snowdrift monster.

ONE MONTH LATER....

"Ahh, finally...going outside with a light scarf on. The sun is shining!"

Pip and Pug are off for a walk

Despite the sun, it's pretty windy out there....and frickin cold!!

Pip is glad she brought her umbrella

Umbrellas are no match for hurricane winds

Finally, a warm day for Pip and Pug.

Pip can tend to her garden, and Pug can wee on the flowers

Pip, Pop and Pug can enjoy biking once again

And of course, walkies!
