Brewery of Brotherly Love

While at the Saint Arnold Brewery, Foo met some fun and funky new friends from Philadelphia in for a brewery visit and a Phillies game.
All was well until everyone went a little crazy and wanted to lick him and kiss his butt. Aside from a little feeling of being violated, it's nice to meet new people.

Eye of the Tiger

Foo felt just like a champion when he posed with the Rocky Statue at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 


Then ran up the stairs that Rocky did in the movie! He did it, Adriaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!


Art?

Foo just shrugs at this art sculpture near the Philadelphia Art Museum. He guesses it's art, but at least the color was Foo-rific!

Battle Cheesesteak!

When in Philly, Foo just had to have a taste of the famous and authentic philly cheesesteaks (complete with Cheez Whiz and onions).





So, where do you find the best? The debate rages on, but it's definitely between Geno's and Pat's, which actually face each other across a six-way intersection.


To make a personal ruling on the favorite cheesesteak, Foo presided over the great cheesesteak battle: one from Geno's, one from Pat's.


The resulting winner? Pat's by a loaf of bread!!

Foo's Friend Ben

Foo gladly paid homage to the great Ben Franklin by visiting his grave in Philadelphia. He couldn't get inside the fence, so the plaque had to do. Foo sees a little resemblance between himself and Ben. Not likely, but they did both travel a good deal.

He Sees Foo, Baby!

Foo shook his little Foo tushy when he visited this statue of Pope John Paul at the Polish historical museum in Philadelphia because he sees you, baby! Shakin' that thang...

Foo for Thought

Foo walked down memory lane when he visited Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia. He claims to remember being here when he came up with the initial idea to fight for independence from the British. Even though he is quite the orator, the public has doubts about this actually being the truth.

Maybe You Should Write it

Foo decided to act out the "Maybe You Should Write it" song from 1776 on the staircase made famous with that song. But if Foo's the one to do it, he'll growl his Foo way through it. He's obnoxious and plastique, we know that sir. Well actually he's not all that obnoxious, but it fits the song nicely.

Fooing in the Rain

Foo was very good at helping Victoria keep dry by holding the umbrella in the constant rain they experienced during their Philadelphia trip.

Foo for Independence

Foo felt honored to walk in the footsteps of the forefathers when he visited Independence Hall. 


He felt like singing "Cool Considerate Men" or "Molasses and Rum and Slaves" while he was inside, but there were too many people around and he got a little shy and started shaking.

Let Freedom Ring!

Foo was very excited to visit the famous Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. He promises he was not the one who cracked it. He blames that lady in front of it. She looks a bit shady.

Walk of Philly Fame

While walking around Philadelphia, Foo found himself on Signers' Row and stopped to pose with the signature plaque of John Adams, his favorite signer of the Declaration of Independence. Sit down, John!

Well, I Declare!

Foo was inspired to make a declaration of his own after visiting the building where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. So Foo declares that he is the first and foremost cutest, and most well-traveled, Foo Dog in the world!

Batter Up!

Foo decided to become a Phillies Fan for the day after he discovered this cool permanent sand sculpture in a park in Philadelphia. He's really not sure what the creature is on the top though, so he decided that the Phillies should make Foo the new mascot!

Quoth the Foo Dog, "Nevermore!"

Foo channeled the great Edgar Allan Poe outside this historical location dedicated to him in Philadelphia. Foo thinks the poem should be revised to include him in it. He's just as scary as the black bird.
