Mother nature interrupted my shave.

[cleanshaved]

My relaxed Saturday morning shave was interrupted by a moderate earthquake.
I was just starting my first stroke when it started. put the razor down and waited it out.
It was a maderate quake only a 5.8 mag at 175km deep but in Rotorua which is about 450km from me. The deep ones seem to be felt furture away. after the short sharp shock hit I let the water in the sink stop moving and back to the shave I went.
Then in my second pass I could hear quack quack quack quack. Looked out the window and a duck was looking up at me we spoke to each other. I said what's up duck, it replied quack quack quack. Sorry little duck I have a shave to complete. back to complete the shave. took a photo or two after the shave but before cleaning up

after taking a photo of the duck my dogs paid me a visit.
cleaned up, job done.
one great shave even with the interruptions.

Glad everything and everyone was unharmed.

Beautiful labs! Did they notice the duck? I'm sure they wouldn't have stopped to chat with it.

yes they noticed the duck. The last photo shows Max (my boy dog the girl is Nova) sitting at the door looking out at it. The ducks head can be seen between the rails, It is on the paving.

Thanks Doc.
after I got back into the shave all my thoughts went to Do I have enough shaving soap if the big one hits LOL

 

[ridnovir]

Glad all is well. Nice looking dogs you have there

Nothing to do with shaving but here's my Doberman.... OK she isn't a Doberman, she's a wonderful Basset!

nice Basset.

I was bitten by a Basset hound once. It was one of the most surprising things to ever happen to me.

Very surprising, my daughter bit the bound whilst it was sleeping and it didnt do a thing!

Too bad there wasn't another duck. You could've shaved with a double duck.

Interdasting.

There have been many earthquakes lately, or maybe we're just more aware of them. Beautiful labs, cute duck lol.

I accidentally ran over his little buddy..it was a home I delivered bottled water to and they had a little ankle biter who would play chicken with your car tires on the way out. I always backed out very slowly and carefully but it just didn't work out for him this time and he died. That was one angry basset hound, it was absolutely heartbreaking. I was still surprised he bit me but I didn't blame him.

To the OP, glad that earthquake didn't make the blade jump too much! Those are a couple of beautiful labs, I love those dogs.

They have a bark like a dog 3 times their size- a huge chest in relation to everything else. I had a tri color like yours growing up.

California residents run the same risks while shaving. Maybe that's why dad used an electric razor.

both are on fault lines, so earthquakes are a part of life. We get a few per year but this is the first while shaving.
I think the duck was a bit rattled that's why it landded in my back yard.

Sweet pups!


And that is the friendliest Doberman I've ever seen
