Thanks everyone for the kind comments and concern! It breaks my heart to think what he must have been through, but I really think that he is where he belongs now. (How often does our shelter - which is NOT no-kill - pick up an injured animal and make the decision not to PTS????? Almost NEVER! Combine that with all the Pet Talk prayers which worked in my husband's heart to allow Connor to come home with us - he really is my miracle baby!!!)

I just find it very frustrating knowing that all the time I am talking to him and soothing him, he can't hear me. I suppose just being close to us is enough for him, and he loves to snuggle! I hope that over time his bad memories will fade! (I have to keep reminding myself that it HAS only been 3 weeks - it feels like he has always been here!)
