recruiting takes place in peoples     
 yards,  or outside stores, or with a bit 
         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 
 roads end and reborn as  something else. 
                                          
 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.
