Why Hello There, Mr. MacWorthy!

they call me white lightning...

Meet Mr. MacWorthy \ˈmak-wər-thē\ - A West Highland Terrier (Westie) that is also known as "White Lightning". He was born February 18th, 2012 and joined our family soon after. We're constantly amazed at how lucky we are to have landed such a well behaved dog with a big personality! He's ALWAYS CURIOUS, but also cautious... I've been lucky that he hasn't tried to eat anything I've grown without us handing it to him to consume. (He's a sucker for snap pea treats!)

Nicknames & other aliases:

- White Lightning
- Albino-Aubergine
- Popcorn JellyBelly
- Booger Bear
- Booger Tissue
- Pup-Pup the Perma-Pup
- Chitters
- Mac-Wizzle

*Fun Fact: I was named after a one-eyed baseball player in the show "Eastbound & Down".

a few of my talents include:

- Guarding the garden.
- Pooping letters (Look up #alphabetpoops on IG...)
- Chasing squirrels.
- Respecting approved garden visitors.
- Inspecting seedlings.
- Killing spiders.
- Sunbathing.
- Warming bellies.
- Tail wagging.
- Greeting house guests.
- Getting b*tches.

- High-5's on command.
- Rolls over for treats.
- Will shake your hand if you got a treat-transaction to consider.
- Plays "dead" when you point a gun at him and say, "Bang! Head-Shot!"... (lol, can you tell we're a "Gamer" household?)
- "Spin-Around" is my cat-walk move... it's sexy
- Special Omnivore diet - EAT. ALL. THE. THINGS.
- Grooming costs more than mom's haircuts annually: my style consists of a Lion-head, mid-length skirt, and Carrot-tail. You can see the evolution of my beauty by checking out #mrmacworthy on Instagram.
- Occassionally poops letters. #alphabetpoops
- Will work for food... and belly rubs.

Mr. MacWorthy has a special talent: he poops letters... so the concrete patio that houses my container garden may have a few cryptic surprises from time to time. He was a bit unhealthy when we brought him home, so I was always minding his poop to make sure his health was improving. He's all good now, but we started to notice that his leavings were shaped like letters, (some more obvious than others) and it was fun being surprised with his little messages. I did not stage any of his droppings, (C'mon guys... that's GROSS - LOL!), but it definitely made taking him out to potty less of an ordeal. ;)
