Many of you noticed my unusual silence these past couple days on the internet. It was a tough week for the Topel’s and I spent some time away from all the stimulation on social media to be with my family. Unfortunately, our family dog got very sick very fast and we had to put him down unexpectedly — I flew home quickly but I wasn’t able to be there with him on his dying day. As any dog owner will tell you, the family pet is the most loved family member. Our doggo of 15 yea rs was no exception. He was there for me through middl e school, high school, college, my adult life and everything in between. It feels like I’ve lost a best friend. I wanted to honor his memory with some silence and being with my loved ones. I appreciate your understanding, all the messages from my “OF family” here and the comfort you have sent me. We will get back to the regularly scheduled programming, but I wanted to provide a life update for you as well ❤️ let’s have a great week my friends. I will post an abbreviated version of this with some photos on my IG as well 🙏🏻 (Photo by @on_sj)
