I am so o believe sorry to hear about dr Bo. All of a sudden you feel that you are orphaned in some sort of way…
I moved to Lakeland in 1993 and all my dogs went to his care. I was needing his services. Now I’m writing I. His obituary. All I can say is that wherever he is, he will have a great animal greeting and I have to believe that they are there and recognize us. I know he is in a good place, condolences to the family.
