Little Ray's Reptile Zoo

To my dearest wife Sheri Prescott-Goulet and all the other great moms out there....

I saw this post and I had to comment. Sheri and I started Little Ray's Reptile Adventure as a small home based business in 1995 because I had a passion for animals and loved working with and educating people of all ages (especially little people). Sheri and I grew this business from very humble beginnings and somehow it grew to something neither of us could have imagined in our wildest dreams. In the last 7 years our lives completely changed when we welcomed triplet (humans) into our lives November 1st, 2010. We were blessed to have wonderful staff who could shoulder some of the load and over this period our business continued to grow and the need for us to be involved with the management of our business is as critical now as ever and we work a lot. For Sheri and I, if we ever felt as though we were busy and worked a lot before children, well... any parent knows, we had NO idea. Parents truly do not have any days off and I would actually say, 'days off' and 'vacations' are WAY more tiring and way more work than work days. Especially for moms...

Now, I would like to think I am super involved as a father and I work endlessly to be the best dad possible but it doesn't matter how good of a father I try to be I am not a mom. Period! Full stop! And I see this all the time with friends. Mom is king! When my children need something it is mom first. I can honestly say that I have never met any family, that is still living as one unit, that this is not the case. Dad's may be incredible for teaching the kids to mountain bike, surf, climb trees, wrestles, snuggles, tickles, hugs etc but moms do this and everything else! Mom's organize their children's life and they are the first call when children need something.

Between work and being a dad to 3 very active 6 years olds that I adore I can say my life is non stop and I can 100% say that if I am an incredible father it is because my children are blessed with an incredible mom who allows me to be the best dad that I can be. If I have been successful as a business person it is because of the support and endless work and management from Sheri, a mom, who has been involved since the beginning. I am who I am today and Little Ray's Reptile Zoo is what it is today, because of an incredible mom. Like many of the dads out there, I am truly blessed to have the most amazing mom in my life and along with my children this is truly what I am most thankful for.

So to Sheri Prescott-Goulet and all the other incredible moms out there. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For everything you do!!! Your endless workload and the constant pressures you are under does not go unnoticed

Please share the link to help me thank all the great moms out there!

Feeling very blessed, Little Ray. ...

Parents Rock!

Little Ray's Reptile Zoo

Little Ray's Reptile Zoo and Nature Centre in Ottawa and Hamilton are proud to be 2 of 13 zoo's in Ontario that are accredited facilities under Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums.

We fully support the OSPCA and CAZA's call for more regulation of exotic animals with the hopes of furthering the rights and care of animals in facilities across Ontario.

CAZA is not only an advocate for responsible care and welfare of animals within the zoo's and aquariums but is also incredibly beneficial towards advancing our own educational programming and conservation efforts.

Becoming a part of CAZA paved the way for us to join the Eastern Loggerhead Shrike endangered species program, begin our green initiatives program leading to the Peter Karsten Conservation Award in 2014, and our internal 'Things you can do' environmental program. ...
