         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.
