What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?

Arrived home yesterday evening to find black labrador retriever LYING on front porch, exhausted.  If I didn't know she'd been fixed, I'd have said she spent the day being very naughty.  She even looked a little smug.

I don't care.  I'm just glad to have her back.  Thanks so much for all the good wishes!

( It's been a long time since I've done one of these! At least a couple of weeks? )
