Thanks guys.  Now I don't feel so ridiculous.
Krokus does very well home alone, now that he has matured.  I just have to
manage his water a bit.  
I've told the neighbor, so now we can go out without too much worrying.

Hi there, these are very valid concerns. A lot of it depends on how 
often you have left your dog home alone. It also depends on whether your 
dog can be trusted to be home by himself if he is not tide down or in a 
crate. For example, my dog is great by himself but he has not always 
proven to be trustworthy. therefore when I leave him home alone, and 
sometimes it is up to 4 hours, I will put him in his crate and he is 
fine with that. I typically don't tell my neighbors unless the situation 
warrants it. Good luck.
