Yabba! Yabba! Do! Flintstone glasses are here for you. These juice glasses (originally jelly) encouraged children to drink ALL of their Welch's juice, so they could see whose embossed image was on the bottom. Would it be Betty, Wilma, Bamm-Bamm, Dino, Pebbles, Barney or Fred? Brilliant marketing in the 1960's. Stop by the Bad Dog usual hours Fridays & Saturdays 11-5pm and Sundays by chance. From Lyle and Diana PS Yep, we are constantly brainstorming about The Annex at 1024. It's so much fun. Will keep you posted on any updates. Cheers!

Every week we have a "five minute" business meeting. This week we discussed our weekly Facebook blurb. Yes, we call it a "BLURB." It led to the very amusing story of Gelett Burgess, author and humorist, and how he invented the word blurb (google the complete story.) Anyway, most children's books that are antique are fascinating and this1913 "The Goop Directory of Juvenile Offenders Famous for Their Misdeeds and Serving as a Salutary Example for All Virtuous Children" is no exception. Stay Curious. Cheers! Lyle and Diana Open 11-5 Fri & Sat and Sundays by chance.

Often times it's the joy of the journey that supersedes the destination. Our travels to Gibbon often include a stop at Lake Beatty on County Rd 13 by Ga***rd. After weeks of spotting just one White Pelican, we recently saw more than 30 on the lake preparing to migrate to California or Mexico. (Sorry but those photos turned out all blurs.) Ah, the beauty of nature! Cheers from Lyle and Diana

Well, we almost sold out of beads and findings a while back so we have restocked with many bags and strands of mostly stones, glass, lava, shells and more. Cheers from Lyle and Diana. Open as usual Fridays and Saturdays from 11-5pm and Sundays by chance. PS Highlight of last week was having Gracie come in the store!

Yaaay! The Gibbon Mayor and City Council approved our plans to build the pole building in back of the The Bad Dog Annex. Thank you! Special thanks to Dana Lietzau, Gibbon City Manager for your support. Also in recent Bad Dog news, we would like to thank Bruce Herschman and the Gibbon Lions for the new bench in front of the main store. Bruce mentioned to the Lions that we would like a bench and within a week it was here! PS Open usual hours 11-5 on Fridays and Saturdays and by chance on Sundays. Cheers from Lyle and Diana

We are so pleased to announce the purchase of "The Annex" located at 1024 First Avenue (next to Cabby's) in Gibbon. Formerly Mary Jane's Studio. This building will be in addition to our main store. We're happy to have Dan's Upholstery join us soon. We have endless ideas for use of the additional space available. A special thanks to Greg and Ann (former owners) who spent so much time renovating this beautiful historic building. We'll keep you posted on the progress. Cheers from Lyle and Diana! Oh, yes the Bad Dog is open usual hours Fri & Sat from 11am-5pm and Sundays by chance.
