What's on Tap?

At the Shiner Brewery, the workers offered to get a picture of Foo with his friends, Victoria and Jonathan at the tapper bar where he got to try four kinds of Shiner beer for free! Boy did Foo love Shiner Bock!! Puppy has some good taste! Most notably, Foo and all got to try the first keg ever of the new Ruby Red Bird beer (a grapefruit beer) before it even hit the stores in Texas!

Bye San Antonio!

Foo took a final stroll along the riverwalk as he prepared to say goodbye to San Antonio. He had a great time being crazy and culturally explorative in this neat Texas town! Bye for now!

San Antoni-Foo

Foo tried to get the town to change its name to honor him, but when he saw the statue of the one it is named for, he decided he had to let them keep it San Antonio. He takes care of kids afterall.

Haunted Hotel

Staying in the Crockett Hotel was nice, but there are stories that it's haunted. 


After hearing about the ghosts, Foo and Buc-ee were kind of afraid to sleep.... hey what's that on the side?? 


Schpooooooky.... Don't worry, Buc-ee, Foo will protect you!

Night at the Alamo

After partying it up along the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Foo wanted to visit the Alamo again at night to see if the ghosts would come out and play. It turned out to just be a cool Foo-to opportunity.

Money Doesn't Grow on Trees...

But clearly it grows on the ceiling of Mad Dog's British Pub in San Antonio... Seems a strange way to save your money, but eh... everything's a little strange in Texas...

Forever Foo

Even Foo found himself a little starstruck coming this close to Rod Stewart On a Downtown Train.... well actually at Mad Dog's.

Where Everybody Knows Foo's Name...

Like everywhere Foo goes, he makes tons of friends, real and fake. The waitstaff (all in kilts) fell in love with Foo. 










Foo got love from the customers as well. One was a pilot in training! 


Foo also loved the bagpipe bloke and the beefeater, but they were a little stiff lipped so didn't really say much.



Guiness Pint of Foo Records

While at Mad Dog's, Foo decided to get his drink on, taking on this long pint all by himself. 

Hiccup... it was a looooong night.

I'm MAD!!!

At least the sign says so... Foo had a fabulous time at Mad Dog's British Pub on the riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. 


He loves that they named the place after him AND framed his kilt. (He used to be a lot bigger back then.) 


He even got to sing karaoke on this great London-esque stage with his friend Big Ben. Ben's kind of shy, and only really gets the "Bong" part of the songs, but he's still good backup!

Durty Durty Boy

After dinner, Foo found himself at a rowdy Irish pub on the riverwalk called Durty Nelly's where he frollicked Foo-fully among the peanut buckets 


He clearly made quite the mess on the table, but the waiter was very forgiving. 



After the mess was swept away, Foo enjoyed pints of good Irish beer while listening to his new piano-playing friend who sang "Sweet Home Chicago" just for him!

Tres Mariachis!

Foo made some new friends as always with the strolling mariachis along the riverwalk in San Antonio. They were eager and excited to get Foo-toed. They followed it up with a charming love song in Spanish. Foo wants to be a mariachi in his next life, but he first needs to learn Guantanamera.... and have opposable thumbs or lungs... hmmm maybe he should just be their mascota!

Yummy Zuni

Foo loved eating at this restaurant along the riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. He even went back for breakfast. But dinner was yummy seared tuna and blue corn enchiladas coupled with live mariachi music!

Cannon Foo Run

Foo gets ready to go into battle and readies the cannons for firing... He's really not interested in being the ammunition though.

More Foo for You!

Everywhere Foo goes, he finds family of all colors and sizes. We are foo-mily!! It's nice to see familiar faces far away from home.

Jackelopia!

Foo made a bunch of new mythical friends in Texas! Now he and his jackelopian army will prepare to take over the world!!




Come my minions!!

Oh and to answer the giant jackelope's t-shirt question... Hellllllllls no!!! Hence why, if you look closely, Foo is pooing on the t-shirt.

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone...

As part of Foo's ongoing Texas cowboy makeover, he decided to try on some foo-sized spurs he found at a San Antonio boutique. Sexy!!

Foo-asaurus Retch!

Foo feared not his new T-Rex friend, at least not at first. 

Rexy had a bit of an attitude and started to get a little cranky during the photo session, but Foo thinks it was just time for a snack.

Anybody know what a T-Rex eats?

Transformation Foo

Foo loved meeting Bumblebee of the Transformers fame, but he didn't really have a ton to say. Foo just wonders where Optimus Prime is hiding. That dude is crafty.

Foo... Foo Dog Gump

Foo was excited to get his photo taken with Forrest Gump, but he's not sure he he can sit and listen to more ways to cook shrimp. However, Foo is like a box of chocolates because you never do know which stories are nutty or creamy or full of fruit.
