Meet BRUCE  ,  a right royal pain in the butt, scruffy yappy,and stubborn old fashioned sort of a very little brain canine , owned by me, Rach (fat, fifty and more than occasionally f***ed off ), for my sins and welcome to 4 PAWS PUBS , my tales of our, customarily, misadventures together.

4PP is a blog of our days out doing the things we enjoy, a bit of fresh air and a 'very steady' wander followed by a few quality beverages in friendly pubs where both humans and canines, even delinquent terriers are truly welcomed!

Most of our travels are in God's Own County of Yorkshire but occasionally we may stray to the dark side and into Lancashire and beyond! Periodic off topic rants at the world in general and an odd four letter word are to be expected .(It's an age thing !) 

I hope the site provides a useful-ish resource and hopefully 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 blog's 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 monopolize.

Feeling particularly generous and?  A donation to our local dog rescue organization to help less fortunate mutts would be awesome!

Enjoy !
