        of violence and trickery.         
                                          
 throw   the  fourleggers  into  a   van.

 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 
 approach. hopefully  bliss is at the end 
 of  it,  but  i  don't know. might  just 
 ruin  you.  will   probably  ruin   you.
