        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.
