        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.
