    Why? What had you done to them?

    I just collapsed at Brackenclose, ate lots of food and drank plenty of beer.

    I am meant to be doing 50k Ennerdale Ultra on 21st October but due to foot problem have only managed to get up to 12 miles in training so not looking too good for that at the moment. Might try eating 50 pies instead!

He was apparently Scottie royalty and his owner's wanted to cash in on this by using him as a stud. The only flaw in their lucrative plan was that Chester was 100% homosexual.. a bitch in heat did nothing for him. Undeterred, they asked us to do artificial insemination every time Chester's services were required. It fell to me to do this task on a regular basis, on account of me, for reasons i know not, getting the largest and quickest samples (and it was my first time ). In the end Chester would start dry humping at the mere sight of me gloving up. I am not proud of this and it is not what i went to vet school for! So every time i hear the word Chester i am reminded of these events which have scarred my psyche.. even driving round the Chester ring road is stressful. So there is no way in hell i am having a dog of that name in my house for the next 13 years.. it has to change!!
    OMG we nearly called Flint Chester! Do you remember when we were driving back from Conwy and we couldn't decide what to call him and we saw the road signs for Flint and Chester. So glad we didn't call him Chester!
