In my life, I cannot remember being so happy to see a year come to an end! 2018 was a difficult. Truthfully, I almost let the Pet Blogger Challenge quietly slide by this year, just to avoid wading back through the struggles of the past 12 months.

Why Look Back?

Sometimes our finest lessons are wrapped in adversity. And, reflecting might help us ward off a repeat performance! Plus, 2018 did bring some wonderful moments worth celebrating.

So, whether you’re feeling like me – ready to usher 2018 out with a kick in the pants – or celebrating a wonderful year of accomplishments, please join me for the 9th Annual Pet Blogger Challenge!

2019 Pet Blogger Challenge

For the past eight years, the pet blogging community has joined together virtually for this event. We reflect on the previous year’s accomplishments and share our victories. We also help each other through our challenges, offering ideas and advice to get the new year off on better footing.

All pet bloggers are invited to participate in this inspiring blog hop! We’ll celebrate 2018 and formulate our plans for the coming year. Mark your calendars and tell your friends … the Pet Blogger Challenge is coming January 20-26th!

Last year’s Challenge was fantastic, with 38 bloggers sharing ideas, building relationships, and supporting each other’s goals. No doubt this year’s event will be every bit as wonderful, so don’t miss it!

Participating in the Pet Blogger Challenge is easy!

To join the fun, simply publish a post on your blog the week of January 20 – 26th, with answers to the questions below. I’ll publish my answers, and include a Linky List in the post, here on GoPetFriendly.com the morning of January 20th. After publishing your post, visit my post and add your link to the Linky List so we can easily navigate to everyone’s blogs.

Here are the questions for the 2019 Pet Blogger Challenge:

1. For those who may be visiting your blog for the first time, how long have you been blogging and what is your main topic?

The 2019 Pet Blogger Challenge is less than a month away! If you need a little help, or have any questions about participating, please don’t be afraid to reach out – building friendships is what this event is all about.

Your help in spreading the word to all your pet blogging pals is very much appreciated. The more people who participate, the more we’ll all learn! So please tell your friends, share a link to this post on social media, and take a screen shot of the Pet Blogger Challenge badge to put on your blog.
