Well two moments really, it happened last night.
The first was that Archie was chasing Ella and I could tell it was a bit much so I intervened. They both jumped on the windowsills and Ella was looking out the window and I was talking away to her, mainly about where we live now, if she likes it, does she remember the old place, does she think Effie would have liked it here etc I looked at Ella (and Archie on the other windowsill) and thought I
you both so much and would do anything for you. I know I think that all the time but it was a lovely moment. Ella was purring and Archie was looking at me like he was planning his next attack...but it seemed special.
Then I realised that neither of them actually had a clue what I was saying. Yes they understand certain words but I talk to them like they are my best friends and they have no idea. Not an iota, nilch, nada. And actually then felt very silly!
That was the second moment!
