        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.
