2020: A Year in Review
Who would have thought that 2020 would FINALLY come to an end? This was both the longest and fastest year all at the same time… All while causing us to completely lose all sense of time. Today, I want to take a step back and look at 2020 here on Shed Happens.
This was a HUGE year for Shed Happens. Why? This blog launched at the start of February 2020!
Since that time, I have had the opportunity to connect with pet lovers around the globe, sharing tips and tricks, funny stories and more.
Who wouldn’t love spending their time talking about pets and sharing pet pictures? I’m in heaven!
At the end of March, I launched the first Hump Day Humour post.
This is a blog series where we come together on the first and third Wednesday of each month to share funny pet-related pictures videos and stories.

Moving into 2021, I am continuing this series. I love sharing the antics of our crazy pets while also hearing your hilarious stories.
If you have any funny pet-related content to share, make sure to share it with us so that I can include it on an upcoming post!
From the February 2020 launch to December 31st, 2020 Shed Happens has had over 100,000 page views!
I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your support and encouragement.
When I started this blog, I simply wanted to share my love of pets with other pet lovers. Now, it has grown and evolved into a source of income for our household.
I couldn’t have done this without YOU! Thank you!
To celebrate the New Year, I’d like to take a short walk down memory lane by sharing the best performing posts over the year.

Wow! I love this review and the fact that your blog will be 1 in 1 month’s time is amazing and over 100 000 views in less than a year is a great feat. I am not really an animal person but your blog is cool. 2020 was challenging and it was the most difficult year yet but I hope and pray 2021 will be kinder to us all. Great review x!
Thank you! I really am hoping that 2021 brings happiness and positivity. After all, 2020 brought enough negativity for at least another year!
Happy New Year!! Even though your blog launched in February 2020, you’ve done an amazing job with your blog, posting amazing content and even the engagement!! I think you hit the nail with being on point with the first year of your blog’s launch. Congrats on hitting over 100k views too!!! Hope 2021 will be another amazing year for your blog. Wishing you personally the best this year :). I always love the Hump Day Humour posts. Every time that happens, I am like.. What is going on inside your head!

Thank you! I am so excited about how 2020 went with this blog and can’t wait to see what’s to come as we move into 2021.
As for the Hump Day Humour, I almost ALWAYS wonder what is going on in the minds of my pets during the many hilarious stories that I share… Although, at the same time, I’m also not sure I WANT to know! Lol
Wow – well done for the success of your blog this year! Long may it continue into 2021 and onwards! 🙂
Thank you very much!
You have really made a fantastic blog and I am so happy about that!
Show love and love will come back to you – that’s something about you and your blog because over 100 000 views in less than one year are mind-blowing!
In 2021 I wish you to keep doing what you love!
Be safe and healthy!
Happy New Year! :*
Thank you very much! I love the fact that I’ve had the opportunity to connect with so many different pet lovers all over. Our pets are such a HUGE part of our lives!
Happy New Year, Britt! Your blog is my 1st ever pet blog that I visited (I don’t visit many pet blogs) and I couldn’t say how much I love all your content here. I learned a lot from your experiences because I have 3 dogs that need to take care of. Congrats on hitting over 100k views! You’ve done an amazing job for your blog even when you launched it in Feb 2020! Hope 2021 will be a wonderful year for your blog. And hope I can participate soon in your Hump Day Humour 😀
Thank you very much! I love hearing that people are able to benefit from the posts that I’m putting out there. Dogs are such a special part of our lives, aren’t they? I can’t wait to see what you submit for Hump Day Humour!
Massive congrats on the huge success of this blog, Britt, it’s so well deserved! As a cat mum, I’d have to say I’ve loved all your cat posts and I’ve also learned things from your fish posts too (Flora has a fish tank in her room). Here’s to even more success in 2021! 🙂
Thank you! I am glad that I have the opportunity to connect with so many other pet lovers. I am SO excited to see what 2021 will bring not only here on my blog, but also for everyone else that I have connected with in the blogging community!
So happy to look back on 2020 and look forward to 2021 as well! Wishing you all the best for the coming year ahead my friend!
Thank you! I am really excited about everything that 2021 will bring. So many great opportunities!
Congratulation on your success! that’s fantastic. I’ve followed your blog for quiet a while and have to say that you totally deserve this success. You have been so dedicated and consistent and your posts are informative and fun to read. I can’t wait to see what interesting things you’ll share with us in 2021!
Thank you very much and thank you for all your support over the last year! I am SO happy to have connected a community of incredible and supportive bloggers like yourself.
Woah! Gal I didn’t know your blog was so recently launched so congrats on how much you’ve achieved in the years it’s incredible! I’m super excited to see what content you produce this year x
Thank you! I have another blog that I’ve been running since 2017 but this is my new project and I VERY quickly fell completely in love with it!
It sounds like you’ve achieved some amazing things this year. 100,000 page views is absolutely incredible!! Despite not being a pet owner, and admittedly not much of an animal person (…other than cats), I really enjoy reading your writing. Looking forward to your 2021 content x

Thank you very much! I am over the moon excited about how this blog has been performing to date, and can’t wait to see what 2021 will bring!
Happy New Year! Congrats on reaching two big milestones! I recently found your blog and love the variety of pet related things you post about. We do not currently have a pet, but are planning to get one soon. I will definitely be keeping many of your posts to reference when we do get one!
Pets are such a great addition to any house, but you have to make sure the time is right. I’m excited for you when that time comes! Do you know what kind of pet you’re looking at adding to your family?
congratulations, it sounds like you have had a successful year (considering the circumstances)! Well done!
Thank you!
Aw! What a sweet post! 100k page views?! That’s amazing 🙂 Here’s to more success this year!!
Thank you! I can’t wait to see what 2021 brings!
Hope you have a great 2021! Keep up the great blog 🙂
All the best, Michelle (michellesclutterbox.com)
Thank you! I hope this year brings great things for you as well!
Huge congratulations on 100k in year 1!! So well deserved. It feels like I’ve been reading this blog for so much longer than that too. I can definitely relate to the longest and fastest year ever, the majority of the year is such a blur. I loved the leash training post, but I’ve picked up so many great tips from your other posts too x
Sophie
Isn’t it crazy how this year seems to really mess with time? lol I have lost track of time more often than I care to admit…
It feels like I have been writing this blog a lot longer than that too! I guess that’s a sign that it just feels ‘right’ 🙂
Congratulations, you have achieved so much on this blog in such a short amount of time, and I really enjoy reading your posts, they are funny and informative! I look forward to seeing what 2021 will bring! xx
Thank you! I’m really excited as we step into this new chapter!
Oh how I’ve enjoyed following you along this past year and how much your readership and fan base has grown organically. But of course, I mean… you’re always so authentic. Anyone can share a diy or how to but not everyone can help us understand in relatable words as well as you do. And your #1 post haha.. of course! I mean PeanutButter!! Only thing that would have tied is if you did a post on Bacon hahaha.. Happy New Year Britt, looking forward to another year of greatness!
Thank you very much, this comment really made me smile. I am so happy to hear that I come across as authentic as that is one of the things that I honestly feel is most important throughout all of this. Happy New Year to you and your family as well! I hope that we all have a great 2021!
Your blog has come so far in such a short time! A huge congrats on your blog stats! I hope you find more success in 2021!
Thank you very much! Honestly, I’m just blown away by it all. That being said, it has me SUPER excited to see where I can take it next!
Great success this past year for you. You’ve got a great niche where people need help and advice. Continued success!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on meeting your goals! What a fun year, despite it all.
Thank you! I am honestly SO blown away by how the year went in terms of this blog!
