It turns out that the #1 thing we always recommend to out-of-town visitors also comes in a dog-friendly version: The Mercury Canine Cruise.
There is one boat tour every Sunday morning from now through September 29th. We like that it is not overcrowded and there has always been enough space on board that we always get our own row or two. Miss M prefers getting the window seat while Mr. B is happy just sitting in E's lap.You can read more details about one of our past trips here.
We have been looking forward to going on another tour this summer, and the Mercury Canine Cruise contacted us and they would also like to generously give away Canine Cruise tickets to 2 lucky winners. Each of the winners will receive tickets for 2 humans and 2 pups. Winners will be able to choose the date of your cruise, though we would love to coordinate and meet up if it works out!

1) Let us know by commenting on our blog post here
2) You can also enter by posting a photo on our Facebook page of your pooch and letting us know why you would be interested in going on the Canine Cruise together. (Remember, we always love seeing photos of your pooches!)

Winners of our Frosty Paws Pop-Up Picnic Giveaway:
1) Callie: Ms. Callie and her new pup Gus would love to go hiking and be able to take a break eating Frosty Paws!
2) Rachel: We'd have to tote puppy supplies with us for weekend treks through our new town - with stops at the bakery, park, and local shops!
3) Kelly Ross and 3 Pups: We go on great dates every weekend with our 3 pups and would love a back pack:)
4) Cary and Gracie: Gracie, our 10 year old avid hiking pooch loves Frosty Paws!!! Recently we took her on canyon hike and she decided to lay in the river since it gets pretty hot here. I think a Frosty Paw pack would have been the perfect cool down compliment for her and for future hikes! :)

I would love to win a trip on the Mercury Canine Cruise for our foster pup, Beau. He deserves it and could give him some more "exposure"!
Millie the yellow lab would love to go on the canine cruise! She's a cancer survivor and has not gotten to swim or ride in boats as often this year as she used to, so this would sure be a special treat for her!
We'll forgo entry in this one but I have to tell you that the photo of Mr. B on the seat/lap facing forward like he is listening to the tour made me so happy I sqeeee'd! Love these two and their adventures!
Murray loves adventures and would be on cloud nine soaking in all the sights on the canine cruise!
Luna is an adventurer and would love to experience a boat cruise. It was already on our list of things to do this summer! Please enter us into this contest, this sounds like it would be a great time.
Mugsy continues to surprise us with his behavior in new situations. He conquered camping (he a spoiled city dog) so we would love to have him try boating.
Cooper and Lily love our daily dog-dates! And Chicago has been on our list of summer destinations this year. We would love to come join in on this adventure to see the sights and hang with our pups on the water.
Golden LOVE to go and win the tickets. We did not have a chance when you guys when with Pip n the Spaulding. Hopefully this year we can go together. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Fantastic giveaway, guys! I'm sharing this over on my Facebook page - I know my Chicago fans would love it!
Our Hercules and Lily would love to go on the cruise with mommy and daddy. See, their sister Aaliyah is afraid of riding in a car and she said she would love to hang out at grammies house and get spoiled and let these two enjoy what she calls a "scary" cruise :) but they love adventure!
i love your blog!! i have started a blog for my adventures with my Mcnab Shepard...we are traveling from DC (where we live) to yellowstone, grand canyon, to San Fran where we will stay for a month. your blog will inspire me!
Juan Carlos is a new rescue pup itchin to see what this fun city is about and the cruise would be just the ticket!
we're moving to chicago in august and would love to tour our new city by boat with our vizsla cooper!
We want to go on a Canine Cruise because our dog has not gotten to visit Chicago yet!
We are so jealous you get to ride on a big boat
Benny & Lily
Drive that boat over here to Portland...we want to go!
Wyatt and Stanzie
I would LOVE to take my sweet Maizy on this cruise! We live in Chicago and she recently received a cancer diagnosis, which was then taken back, but is still a great concern. As a result, we're embarking on the "Summer of Maizy" where we do tons of fun, new things together and have a summer to remember (just in case)!
So we could come to Chicago!!
I think my two pitties Maggie and Trike would love this. Both are fond of the lake, swimming, and anything water-based (that isn't a bath). Looks fantastic.
My dogs Nala and Mandy would love to go on a Canine Cruise! Seeing this beautiful city with their tongues hanging over the side of the boat!
Ted and Manny would love to go on the canine cruise. Both of these lovable guys are rescues- Ted the one-eyed wonder and Manny who is still a foster boy. Mercury Canine Cruise away!
i would love to take our dobie Wallie. he has never been on a boat yet at 1 year old so this will be a nice treat!
Wow, that would be SO much fun! We love to road trip with our dog, Dot. A couple of weeks ago we took a trip down Route 66 and Dot had her very first horse and carriage ride in Pontiac, she loved it! This could be the next checkmark on her mode of transportation bucket list!
