        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 
  creature, frame a burroughs portrait,

 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.
