 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

 you    can't    go    the   same    way, 
  unfortunately, though another path is   
 open. a grimier, grainier,  more painful

 of  it,  but  i  don't know. might  just 
 ruin   you.  will  probably   ruin  you.
