Earlier this week I talked about the game of musical chairs being played out by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic as they jockey for the top three spots in the world of ATP tennis. I wondered if anyone ever plays musical chairs or not and, lo and behold, frequent Tennis Diary contributor Jenny, who lives in London, described a rollicking doggy version of that very game. A Ringcraft Club is a club for dog handlers in case you were wondering.

They still play musical chairs here, we have a doggy version at our ringcraft club party nights. That’s a sight for sore eyes I can tell you, especially when you have the large Shepherds, Rotties and Labs trying to leap onto their owners’ laps, those chairs can only take so much weight – I can’t tell you the number of bent metal chairs we’ve had to replace! On second thoughts, I suppose we could submit them to the local modern art gallery!
