Cheer up Emu Bird

Foo visited with the emus at the reptile zoo. They weren't having much to do with Foo, though, because he wasn't made of food, only Foo.

They make a really weird clicking sound though, so Foo was a little scared of these really big birds.


Bamboozled

Foo felt a little in the weeds in this patch of bamboo at the reptile zoo. He was just hoping a panda wouldn't come along and try to eat him.

Slowwwww Dowwwwwn

Foo enjoyed his visit to this reptile zoo where he got to watch the speed of these tortoises with utter amaaaaaaazzzz- eeeeemmmmeen- nnnnttt. Really, they barely moved, but that's okay. They're easier to take pictures of that way.

Puff the Magic Dragon...

Well this one didn't really live by the sea, but it did live along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. It was magical and purple and named Burgundy! Foo wanted to ride the dragon, but the dragon would have none of it.

Valley Foo-ge

Foo's trip to Valley Forge was educational and interesting even in the misty, then pouring rain. First, he toured the welcome center.



He then went and saw some original encampments he thought didn't look much bigger than his doghouse.



After that, it was time to visit a memorial arch among other things.

But his favorite thing to do was dress up as a colonial military officer. Foo thought he bore a striking resemblance to George Washington.

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!

Amish Foo

In honor of his trip to Amish Country, Foo decided to pose with this Amish buggy that was outside the hotel. He was amazed to find that it had a spedometer inside!

Foo's Dancin' and Singin' in the Rain

Foo was excited to go see Katie Rochon perform in "Signin' in the Rain" at the Dutch Apple Theatre. Unfortunately there were no dogs allowed inside, but he got to support her anyway and gave her a standing foo-vation.

Yay to Katie for a great performance as Lina Lamont! And it turned out that Katie had a fan club of her own that night!


Foo on the Farm

The friendly little Foo Dog that he is, Foo made even more friends at the farm in Pennsylvania. He met Larry the Llama, who wondered just want kind of llama Foo might be and why Foo was getting in his close-up beauty shot.

Then Foo got some baby goat kisses from his new friend Goaty the Kid.


Goaty's favorite things to do were jumping off his big rock and butting his head into people's hands.






Why Buy the Cow...

When Foo will milk it for free? Foo took a turn milking this cut-out cow and learned how udderly difficult it is when you don't have opposable thumbs and when the cow is not real.

You Can't Catch Me...

I'm the Foo-gerbread Man! Foo decided to taunt this happy Gingerbread Man with a bit of his own medicine and then run away. The gingerbread man was more amused by Foo than anything else.

What's in a Name?

Foo had fun with the name of this little Amish country town outside of Lancaster, PA. Lots of inside jokes here.... Foo just had a little time to get in and out.... of the Kitchen Kettle Village...

And Foo was fascinated that the pretzels came either hard or soft... sickos... teehee...

StoryTime for Foo

Foo is sad that Storyland is no more. This and a few other pieces that he couldn't get to are all that remain of the once popular amusement park. But boy is this dude big! Can you find Foo?

Mountain Foo-way

Can't go over it. Can't go around it. Have to go through it! Foo was very excited about documenting his trip literally through the mountains on the highway in Pennsylvania.

But remember, you have to make sure you don't cross the center line.

Foo understood why once he was inside. It was very "spooky" in there...

Fallen Heroes

Foo accidentally found this memorial to the Flight 93 plane and victims that died saving others from the tragedies of 9-11. He's glad he got to pay his Foo respects to the heroic people.

Foo in Space

Foo needs E.T. to phone him so he can figure out what the writing on this Space Acorn says. He thinks it's a message from Footonia calling him home to the mothership!
