I was sad to hear yesterday that Bo died. Bo, the wonderful cocker-pit who belonged to my friend Jamie was one of a kind.
On Memorial Day weekend in 2006 (I think), we met Jamie and his future wife Anja at a Friendly’s near Turner’s Falls Mass. As Bo sat outside, we watched everyone walk past our window and check her out. Here’s a video of the procession.
