         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.
