Marmaduke is a little behind in his bone burying. His owner-man incorrectly postulates this is because the ground is frozen while serving Marmaduke a bag of Barfoo-brand dog food. The reality of the situation is that Marmaduke has been drinking too much to get around to his bone burying, but Owner-Man is too wrapped up in feeding him to notice the spent beer cans scattered around the premises.
