        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.
