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

 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.
