The thing about human beings that strikes me as both wonderful and fascinating: is our capacity for change.\xa0 If you asked me ten years ago would I ever \u201cown\u201d a dog, I\u2019d have laughed at the notion.\n\xa0\nToday, the reality is that I do not \u201cown\u201d Eva\u2026she owns me\u2026or better put, we own and love each other.\n\xa0\nEva Jones is many things: but most of all, most importantly of all: she is, to me: an example of the good animal I could be. \xa0\n\xa0\nShe is a perfect example of love and joy\u2026and she\u2019ll always be that way for me.\xa0 People change\u2026I\u2019ve changed over the years in some ways for the worse, in some ways for the better\u2026but Eva has\u2026for the past four, been an important constant in my life.\n\xa0\nThis episode concludes with a eulogy for a friend.\xa0 The greatest biffer I\u2019ve ever known, and someone who taught me the importance of living your life to the top.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\n\n\n \xa0\n\xa0\nMelodious advice by Neil on Twitter @neilbearse\xa0\n\xa0\nBoth opening and closing themes songs were by Jim Fidler at .\n\xa0\nThe song - \u201cA Raven Has my Heart\u201d at \n\xa0\nFitBit at .\n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes at steverunnerblog.com\n\xa0\nIn Vino Veritas with at \n\xa0\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: (But only if you can afford it!)
