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.
