 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 
  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.
