The man and the Dog Food

I'm writing this up for a friend.
A story of my friend and her husband and their big yellow dog.
This story is marriage after the honeymoon ends.
Marriage after 25 years of sex, love, arguments, children.

Day one
6 p.m.
Husband: We’re out of dog food.
(She has n e v e r fed the dog)
Wife: Did he eat today?
Husband: This morning.

The questions: Did you notice this morning, the dog food was empty? Did you think of stopping on the way home from Work?

Day Two
6 p.m.
Husband: Did you get Dog Food?
(She has n e v e r bought dog food)
Wife: (Silence)
Husband gives dog some food from the fridge.
Dog is starving.

Day Three
Husband buys dog food at 9 p.m.
Dog is starving

6 weeks Later:
Husband: We’re out of dog food.
