Omg, my CAG is a 12 y/o girl lol

Not really, he's a 19 week old boy, but when I was berating my daughter (aka 12 y/o girl), I looked over and both child and Izzy were staring at me with big eyes. lol

So, the next time Izzy decided he was going to go out of his way to come bite me (his favourite past time now), I took the same tone I did with my daughter Meg, but directed it to him. He hunched, and stopped biting. Then lifted his foot and softly goes "up? ...step up? yes?" LOL my heart broke but I told him only if he behaved and he hasn't lunged for my flesh since! I don't think it will last but OMG lol, the "Mom Voice" works on avians and humans! Woot!

Shoot I use my MOM voice on Olly and he pins his eyes on me. Bows his head. And goes for the kill. As if to say go ahead make my day lady. I will make you bleed. Then tell him to knock it off. he wants kisses. He makes no sense to me what so ever.
