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

                  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.
