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.
