It's walk to school week this week and Instow Primary school walked their pets up to school.  Lots of people with lots of dogs, an interesting combination at the best of times.

We were "honoured" this morning with the presence of Councillor Rodney Cann, who was joining in the fun with his two little rats, oh sorry I mean dogs.

Well councillor Cann, I really wish you had stayed at home.  Not only did you show the children what being an irresponsible dog owner was all about, but you confirmed to me why I did not vote for you in the recent elections.

Any moron would know that if you take one dog out, let alone two, there is going to be an incident where doggy is going to leave his doggy do -do's.  All the other parents had a bag for such an occasion - NOT Councillor Cann, oh no!

Little dog did do do's and Councillor Cann made a remark about leaving the bag in the car, (shame he didn't leave the dogs in the car!) He  said he would pick up do do's on the way back down the hill.  This was obviously not a councillors priority as do do's were still on hill (well trodden in) at 9.10am when I returned down the hill.

This was a prime example of lack of planning and responsibility - just what we  have learned to expect from our local councillors
