Hi Heights. Again, thanks for your concern.

Just so you know the building I live in is not a traditional side by side brownstone downtown.

It is Federal style and it has four units in the front and then four units in back. Mine is in the back.

The yard is fenced, and has a locked gate. The only real way to get back there is through the front door of my unit which was locked. And to get to my unit, you have to go through double entry doors which are kept locked. The fire escape doesn't even egress into the back, but into a center ally.

So despite my back door being open, at no time did this impair the overall security of the building I live in and my neighbors were not at risk. Annoyed with barking dog outside, maybe.

So I am not understanding how I'm being irresponsible. I did everything I could have done. It was the dog sitter who failed me.

But to some other folk's comments, I am glad to have neighbors who are looking out for me. Jersey City should be more like this. That is how we become the best mid-sized city in America. Going back to basics like looking after neighbors, etc.

Fletch

I am glad things worked out for Fletcher. Growing up on the same block in the Heights for 25 years mainly in the 70's & 80's all of the families did look out for each other. The parents kept a watchful eye on all the kids. We were all home owners like Fletcher and knew we could depend on our immediate neighbors to "watch the house" Till this day I still keep in touch with those that moved away. Great time here in J.C.

Welcome back Fletch...glad you're back safe & sound...Everything that we experience should teach us something and one is that we're all watching out for each other in some way.

Except for the kind of responsibility Fletcher left behind. Living in an 8 unit condo means that 7 other people/families were dependent on Fletcher to maintain the security of the building. Leaving doors open and dogs running rampant is not good.

Hello All.

Thanks for everybody's concern. I was away for my 25th HS reunion weekend in Northern Indiana.

I had hired a dog sitter and well, per Yvonne, apparently they didn't do a very good job.

Needless to say, I left very detailed instructions on how to take care of the dog, feeding, etc. including certain instructions like... do not leave dog outside unattended.

Got back yesterday at midnight, so with work today, am only now able to reply.

Thankfully through JC list and also facebook, members of Grace Church Van Vorst where I attend were able to track me down and inform me of the situation.

Also thanks to my neighbors for showing their concern over my safety and well being. They thought something might have happened to me inside with lights and tv going and door open, but no one visibly around.

Also spoke with Animal Control this afternoon as well, letting them know everything is ok.

Sorry folks. Frankly I'm beyond disbelief (and embarrassed) at the whole situation. Can't trust anybody these days.

Fletch

Also not wise to post on facebook that you'll be out of town.
