        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

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

 ruin   you.  will  probably   ruin  you.
