Meet BRUCE  , a scruffy yappy , stubborn CANINE of  very little brain and me , rach – rotund , real ale loving , menopausal- AND LONG SUFFERING OWNER OF SAID MUTT !

4PP is a blog of our days out , usually a bit of fresh air and a very steady wander followed by a few quality beverages in interesting  pubs , micros and breweries ,where both humans and canines , even delinquent terriers  are truly welcomed !  Most of our travels are in Gods Own County of Yorkshire but occasionally we may stray to the dark side and into Lancashire and beyond ! Hopefully  the site provides a useful(ish) resource and a bit of light entertainment for anyone who might enjoy similar type expeditions with their trusty(ish)  furry companion. You can read more about us and the blogs background here 

No freebies or paid promotion  (save the odd pint ) is involved in this site, unlike lots of ‘dog blogs’ , it’s essentially just a sad hobby site,  so a nod ,either by a social media follow or by comment, to show that someone is at least reading the thing would be appreciated !! Any inspired suggestions for destinations for us to test out or perhaps would like to embarrass yourself totally and submit your own day out musings then don’t hesitate to get in touch.

As well as our travels on a serious note I hope 4PP can show the real positives of taking on a ‘second hand mutt’  like Bruce. Up and down the country there are thousands of dogs looking for new homes not all perfectly behaved or ridiculously cute and cuddly but all in need of a chance of a new sofa to monopolise  .Feeling feeling particularly generous and have enjoyed the site ?  A donation to our local dog rescue organisation to help less fortunate mutts  would be awesome!
