| Too Bad Dogs was born out of a horrible situation. My wife was injured at work and eventually became totally disabled. As her disability progressed she became more and more depressed. Her depression worsened when she had to quit working. Then she found she could no longer even do the hobbies that had given her such enjoyment before the injury. First we looked for adaptive tools designed to help people continue with their hobbies. They were either too expensive or didn't exist. Being handy, I started designing and creating things so she could continue with a few hobbies. Thus Too Bad Dogs,Inc. was born! Many people ask us how we got the name Too Bad Dogs, Inc. Quilling
We live in a small town on the Western Slopes of Colorado. Our family consists of 2 wonderful sons (they live in the Eastern part of Colorado), an awesome daughter-in-law, a very smart and handsome grandson, 1 dog (Billy was a stray who adopted us), 3 cats (Rosie, Squeaky and Sam who are all rescues), 2 tanks of fish and anything else my wife can mother. We also have wonderful wildlife here including quails and pheasant as well as every wild bird you can think of. We even have hawks! When the company started we had 2 dogs (Duke and Troubie {they are on the logo), 5 cats (Hopi, Lucky, Boo-boo, Rosie and Squeaky), and 3 tanks of fish. When we were trying to decide on a name for the company the dogs were barking. We looked at each other and the idea hit. Why not name the company after the dogs? Hence the name Too Bad Dogs Inc. Quilling. Our promise to you, our customer is, we will always bring you well made products at a reasonable price. What is a reasonable price? It means we make enough to pay for our materials, labour and a modest profit. We will also try to bring you products made in the USA when possible. All of our TBD brand products are made right here in Colorado. Our Quilling Corral©, Quillmax Design Board©, and our TBD Quilling tools are labor intensive products that are made with quality materials and will last for many years. We use high quality cork (this is small grained cork that is self healing) and quality hardboard, hard woods and a high quality plastic. We're very proud of the fact we manufacture our TBD line in Whitewater, Colorado in the USA! We will create custom pieces.
Our company is consumer driven. This means you decide where we're going. We encourage our customers to let us know what they like about our products or dislike. If you or someone you know is disabled, we want to hear from you. We are always open to developing/manufacturing and carrying adaptive tools. We try to design our tools so that people can continue to create beauty through the application of their chosen art form. If you can't find something here that you need or want, let us know and we'll see what we can do. If you have suggestions on how we can improve our store please contact us by clicking here. |
