 throw  the   fourleggers   into  a  van. 
 decode them. sort them  by  species  and

 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.
