         of violence and trickery.        
                                          
 throw  the  fourleggers  into   a   van. 
 decode them. sort  them  by species  and 
                  taste.                  
                                          
 decorate  the  dog,  decorate  the  dogs 
 mind, upsize  the  paws,  or  the  whole

 you    can't    go    the   same    way, 
  unfortunately, though another path is   
 open. a grimier,  grainier, more painful 
 approach. hopefully bliss  is at the end 
 of it,  but  i  don't  know. might  just 
 ruin  you.  will   probably  ruin   you.
