"Hey, Boss! We're off on Labor Day, correct?"

Before I retired, I felt guilty for taking a day off. 😕
I didn't have anyone waiting at home for me, there was nothing worth watching on TV, and my Internet access was at work.
(at the T.V. station when I wasn't doing the groundskeeping, or building satellite dishes (or running the cables to and aiming the dish to the correct space bird), electrifying equipment racks, or other Assistant Engineer work, I was the "receptionist" and Executive Secretary for the LLC President and the V.P. (they were usually in another state, and called in research assignments and other tasks.)
At the Florida Keys vacation rental property I managed, after completing my daily tasks (service the swimming pool, rake the beach, return the seaweed to the ocean, and trim the 97 coconut trees on the property, and chop the fronds to size so the trash hauler would take them away ... I started at a front corner of the property and worked around the property to where I started. By the time I made it back to the starting point, (usually a couple weeks) it was time to start trimming and dropping the coconuts again. Coconut trees and the beach weee "job security" ... never ending tasks.
I also handled the reservation inquiries, managed the website, helped guests as needed, cleaned the place (and repaired damage as needed) between guests. During my off time in the evening I could play on the Internet, in my room.
 
Just a plain ole CV Sod Buster Jr. in a pocket today. Before I go, last night after dinner (supper in some parts of the country) Cindy secured the kitchen making sure everything was closed up tight. Along about 8 PM, we heard a beeping alarm coming from the kitchen. Cindy went to investigate and found "Abby" the Hoarder sitting in front of the open door of the refrigerator. Hmmmmm? Time to go to bed and Cindy checked the house and locked/closed everything up neat and tight. Along about 2:30 AM we were awakened by a beeping alarm coming from the kitchen. Cindy went to investigate and found "Abby" the Hoarder sitting in front of the open door of the refrigerator. Coincidence or did the beeping alarm draw "Abby" the Hoarder to the refrigerator OR has "Abby" the Hoarder figured out how to open the refrigerator door? Time will tell.

Ed, Abby the Hoarder learning is my "guess".
It might be "wise" to add an hasp and padlock (also self drilling and tapping screws the appropriate size for hasp screw holes) to your next Home Despot or Ace(?) Hardware Store, Harbor Freight, or Farm Supply Store run shopping list. 🤔☹️.

Does your refrigerator have a history of self-opening?
I didn't know refrigerators had alarms 😲
My money's on Abby 🐶

Ed I know for a fact that dogs can open doors. Our dearly departed Pit Charlie would go crazy when the mailman came when we weren’t home and run to the door at the back of the house and as you can see he was able to turn the knob go down into the garage and bark at the mail slot on the garage door. I even had one guy file a vicious dog complaint. I talked to him about it and asked how a 80 pound dog was going to get through the slot and he just hemmed and hawed.

I'm leaning to Abby having learned to open the refrigerator door - just another adventure at Modoc ED's house. Thank the Lord the refrigerator is too big to fit through the doggy door and find it's way to a hidey hole out in the yard. It's one of those smart appliances. Leave the door opened longer than one minute and it turns on a red light in the control panel and then beeps for 30-minutes.
