In 10 days I will be 12 years old. I started my Barkday celebration last Sunday on a boat.
I went on a Canine Cruise via Mercury Skyline.
It’s not my first time cruising the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
My last Canine Cruise was 2 years ago, click here to read it our post.
It was a PAWsome Sunday to spend the day in the city. It felt like we were tourist as we cruise for 90 minutes and listened to facts/information about the architects/buildings in Chicago. Mercury Cruiseline offers plenty of safe outdoor-seating. Dogs were allowed to choose to sit on the deck, in a seat, and/or owner’s lap. Dogs were also allowed to walk around the boat. We sat at the back and I had my own seat. I was a well behaved Golden dog and sat most of the boat ride. I simply enjoyed the magnificent tall buildings and skyline.
Our favorite part was when we were on Lake Michigan. The tour guide stopped talking for us to enjoy the skyline of Chicago. The sun disappeared but the cool breeze felt Golden Good. The Chicago skyline is renowned as one of the most beautiful in the world. Each building has an interesting story and amazing architecture.
Below is a short video of my Golden Cruise.
Mom took many photos mostly of ME, capturing my Golden Moments …

If you plan to visit Chicago, a boat ride with your dog is a must. The Canine Cruise runs form July – September. A Canine Cruise with Mercury Chicago’s Skyline Cruiseline is a well spent Summer Splurge for yourself and for your dog.
Lots of Golden Thanks Mercury Chicago Skyline Canine Cruise.

That looks like so much fun, Sugar! We love these pics. We’re sure we saw you smiling!
Wow! This is awesome! I didn’t even know these existed! I’m really excited to give Kayo some boating experiences so I’ll see if there are any pooch cruises nearby. Thanks for this post!
You always have such interesting adventures, Sugar!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
That is an awesome cruise Sugar. Love the video and the photos of you with the wind blowing in your ears and a big smile on your pretty face! I’d love to take Frankie and Beryl on that.
Oh Sugar we can tell by the smile on your face that you had a GREAT time!!! Kudos to the great city of Chicago for being so dog-friendly. Other cities (like Detroit) should follow their lead!
I’ve always wanted 2 go boating with the dogs
Urban hounds
It looks like so much fun! I remember the cruise a couple of years ago. Super excited about your upcoming birthday!
That is such a great thing to get to do. We don’t have anything like that around here! We are so excited for your birthday! Lee and Phod
My hubby is from Illinois and I have always wanted to go to Chicago. I have never flown with Chester and Gretel though. We have a summer doggy cruise here that goes out to an island you can only get to by boat.
What a fabulous day Sugar…If Gizmo & I do make it to Chicago you will have to take a boat ride with us…Will we get to celebrate your Barkday at Barkworld? I think we need a pawty!
Cool, Sugar! Do they allow cats??? ha ha
How awesome! Do you ever run into Two Pitties In The City? They have a blog
Benny & Lily
My paws are in for a doggie meet up and cruise next summer! What a fun idea! That cruise looks great and what perfect weather too! You are really doing up your birthday big, I love it!
I forgot to mention that I loved seeing tiny flashes of your purple PAW 🙂 Have a pawsome Thursday!
That had to be so much fun!!!
We are all ready for your Barkday Sugar. Yes we are.
Our Little Bit is going for a boat ride this weekend. We are taking a 2.5 hours trip into another yacht club. She loves to explore new places.
Have a woof woof day Sugar. My best to your mom. 🙂
Thanks for inviting me via video to your golden canine cruise, Sugar. It was gorgeous and not even my mom gots sea sick :o)
A canine cruise?! What a pawesome idea! Momma goes on cruises sometimes and leaves Cinderella and me at Grandma’s. Wait until I tell her she can bring us WITH her!
Not long till your birthday now Sugar. Lucky you. We wouldn’t be allowed on a boat here but glad you got to so. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
What fun! My guys would be looking for any opportunity to jump overboard!
Sugar, you really do look like you truly enjoy your boat ride. It must be very relaxing for you. A meetup would be so much fun, just wish we were closer.

Sugar, you are a gorgeous golden girl! Glad you enjoyed the wonderful cruise. Please tell your Mommy that her photography is excellent! I wish I could go gray as gracefully as you have :-).
well that is pretty darn neat that you got to go on a cruise!
That does look like a great boat ride Sugar! I think it’s a really awesome idea for them to let dogs ride on the boats.
Happy ALMOST birfday! We KNOW that you MUST have been cruising on Oprah’s yacht??
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
The Canine Cruise os a wonderful event. You look as though you had a great time.
Sugar your like a kid on their first boat ride…..The expression on your face says it all!
Look forward to more adventures to share!!!!
Way fun! It’s so great that they allow dogs on the cruise. 🙂
That is an awesome cruise, and I’ve been wanting to do it since I read about it on Bunny’s & Pip’s blogs. Please add me to the list for 2014. That would be so much fun. Most likely, I would just bring one pup. Who will be the lucky one?
Finally got to read this! Sugar you look like you were having a blast! We can’t wait to go! Chicago is such an amazing city that we should not take it for granted! Love Dolly
That was great! Loved the video, looks like your starting your bday celebration with a bang.
Ooh Sugar that sounds like a golden good time! I wonder how Delilah would do on a boat? Lol
