Wives of Dallas Cowboys Poker for Pets
The wives of the Dallas Cowboys, an American Football team, have come together to put on a charity poker tournament to support the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Dallas Cowboys Wives put on Poker for Pets, at the Four Seasons Resort and Club, where the game was Texas Holdem poker and the proceeds went to the SPCA of Texas and their 2008 Fur Ball. The Fur Ball is another charity fundraiser that pulls in money to support pet related programs such as adoptions and community education.

Poker lexicon:
- CARDS SPEAK - Winner(s) of the hand are determined by turning their cards face up, the best hand(s) wins (no declaration).
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
