         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,

 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.
