Chicago is a beautiful dog-friendly city. It is one of the most visited city in the United States. Many travelers visit Chicago for its food, amusements, sports and stunning architecture. There are many ways to experience Chicago; by foot, bike, bus, trolley, boat, kayak or Segway. The Chicago architecture boat tour is an entertaining way to see and learn Chicago’s many architectural wonders.
The architectural boat tours are popular for many Chicagoans and suburban residence too. During Summer months, many enjoy seasonal fun dog adventures like the Canine Cruise via Mercury Chicago’s Skyline Cruiseline.
It was delightful to cruise Chicago via Mercury’s Canine Cruise last Saturday, July 11th. It was the 1st Canine Cruise of the Summer and 1st Saturday cruise. Typically, Mercury’s Canine Cruise is only on Sundays. Due to its popularity, a Saturday cruise was added this year.
Every year to kick-off Sugar’s barkday celebration, we cruise Chicago via Mercury’s Canine Cruise. This year cruise is extra special. Sugar is going to be 14, and it’s our last cruise (we are moving). Golden Thanks for Mercury Cruise for sponsoring our ride. We had a wonderful time at the back of the boat, it felt like we had a private canine cruise. Sugar had lots of Golden FUN!

July 20, 2015 at 2:39 AMWith the heat and constant storms so far this summer , and the fact that my vehicle hasn’t been up to going far – plus the air isn’t working, we’ve been limited to taking walks close to home and spending time in our own yard. I’m getting a new (used) vehicle tomorrow, so I’ll be able to start going more places. Funny thing is, I just mentioned to one of my daughters that I want to take my dogs on the Chicago cruise. We were at the 12th St. Beach (by the Adler Planetarium) and the lake looked so inviting.
