Dish-Houston

DISH is mostly about Houston, within the Texas borders and the outliers that encompass Texas based stories. However there are times that we need to go a bit further and today is one of those days. A major earthquake, magnitude 7.0 hit Haiti today near the very populated Port Au Prince. The quake was felt as far as Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Your prayers and help are most needed because the majority of the homes in Port Au Prince were poorly built at the very most. Give if you can.

ALSO, a few other ways to help...

•UNICEF has issued a statement that "Children are always the most vulnerable population in any natural disaster, and UNICEF is there for them." UNICEF requests donations for relief for children in Haiti via their Haiti Earthquake Fund. You can also call 1-800-4UNICEF.

•Operation USA is appealing for donations of funds from the public and corporate donations in bulk of health care materials, water purification supplies and food supplements which it will ship to the region from its base in the Port of Los Angeles.

The Ball Python.

DISH fell in love with this sweet snake at the FLOCK event benefiting the Health Museum at the Houston Zoo Thursday.

Chris was the kind reptile handler who kept bringing the animals out to visit with us flockers. We asked what her name was and he said none of the reptiles had names because there were over 1400 and it would be difficult to remember them all. The problem is, lots of folks fell in like with this hugger. PLUS she has a heart on her!!! Chris was kind enough to let us name her and he even put her name on her feeding card so it really is her name for ever and ever!

DISHIES....Meet PRADA!

We named her that because Prada has so many items made out of her family members that we though it fitting that there was a living python with that name =)

Head over to the Houston Zoo to the reptile exhibit and as to see Prada. She may even come out to give you a hug! =)

P.S. Here is DISHIE Ted Bowen with the Gray-Banded King Snake, these snakes are not poisonous and are impervious to other snake bites like the rattle snake. It's a sweet snake but we didn't name it because it pooped on us =( ...after it sat on Ted's head.
