recruiting takes place in peoples    
 yards, or outside  stores, or with a bit 
         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,  
 sing a  tune about being brought to your

 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.
