Thanks everyone! Have only just seen replies due to the time difference here in OZ. Murray is a huge smoochy gentle giant and is a great watch dog - if he manages to wake up before someone enters the yard. He's easy to walk, never pulls on the lead with me (a real gentleman). But he doesn't let me out of his sight when we're out - it's a bit like having a bodyguard. So the scrapivore is only needed for cutting up his treats <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
