 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

 ruin  you.   will  probably   ruin  you.
