N+1 if you have the space
When I stopped commuting by bike, I noticed a marked decrease in energy and enthusiasm. Wore off after a bit - but I'm still looking forward to biking in to work again (hopefully will be able to start soon - fingers crossed!).
When I saw the title of the thread, I had a mental image of you dragging the bodies of the dogs you had to shoot on your commute and asking for the best way to do it!
