Random observation

It's funny to observe the mannerisms one develops over time.
For example, after euthanizing an animal, I do the usual listening for any remaining heartbeat and then I tend to reach up to the eyes as if to close them.
Some of my colleagues do the same, others earnestly shake their heads or turn away.
But all of us recognize the need to somehow acknowledge the fact that's pretty much obvious. And not only for the owners sake.
