        of violence and trickery.         
                                          
 throw  the  fourleggers  into   a   van.

 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

 of  it,  but i don't  know.  might  just 
 ruin  you.  will  probably   ruin   you.
