Instagram star Megan Jayne Crabbe took to Instagram to announce the death of her long time friend Topsy.
“Earlier this week I said goodbye to one of my oldest and best friends. I got 16 years of play fights, real fights, long walks, short hugs (she would never admit that she liked them), 5pm where’s-my-food barking, 5:30pm where’s-my-toy waiting, wrestling, licked wounds, growled conversations, too-early wake up calls and lots of lessons in how to be completely ferocious and completely warm at the same time. We grew up together, helped raise each other, and I think she stayed just long enough to teach me everything she could have. Thanks for being the reason I like dogs more than humans Topsy, I couldn’t have asked for a better friend.”
