Results tagged “tips” from Puppytoes.net Shop blog

Many people have asked where I came up with the name for the puppytoes.net store. It comes from our Shop Mascot, Cragar's, cute little feet. When he was little he'd nibble on his little toes every now and then, so I used to tell him he had the cutest little puppy toes. Yes, I'm weird, what can I say?

But the name stuck and puppytoes.net was born.

Now our shop mascot has cute little injured toes.

Last week, Cragar was out in the yard on his leash, doing his business, and his leash got stuck behind some bushes. I went out to untangle the leash from all the branches, then brought him inside. He came in, ate his food, and walked around and checked things out for a little bit. At that point I was laying down, taking a little breather before I started making dinner when Cragar comes bounding into the bed, followed closely by his Daddy.

Now that the weather is becoming colder here in our neck of the woods, we feel much less guilty about spending time indoors. So instead of doing yardwork or home renovations on the weekend, it's a perfect time to throw a poker party!

Originally this article was going to be about how to throw a tournament-style poker party, but as I wrote it I realized there were much better resources for the actual mechanics of setting up a poker tournament. A favorite of mine is Home Poker Tourney - it's a great resource that includes poker chip reviews, a card buyer's guide, blinds schedules, and tons more. I know I personally used that site a couple of years ago when buying our first large chip set.

What we'd like to do here is offer ideas on making your poker party one of a kind, offering poker night recipes and products to spruce up your shindig from the puppytoes.net store. Afterwards, maybe everyone will be asking when you'll be throwing the next party!

Since there's a lot of information to cover, we'll be doing this in parts - Part I covers inviting your guests.
