In all likelihood the most loyal pet you will ever have, a dog is more of a companion to many people who take them everywhere and consider them as more than a member of the close family.

In all likelihood one of the most restful things a individual can do is walking with their dog; perhaps throwing a stick for them to fetch but they are just as delighted sitting at your feet after a long day. They are a loved and valued member of the close family, one that doesn’t get upset because they have lost their favorite shoes or that they haven’t had that bath you promised.

Other than love, there are few ways we can really show our appreciation for the love and companionship a dog provides except by keeping them in first class health which can be done with a dog insurance plan. Pet insurance providers know how important pets are to individuals and can arrange a big number of health plans that can cover virtually every type of position. Even the healthiest of dogs can become sick and knowing you have an dog insurance insurance policy that will pay for medical attention means that the cost is never a concern.

As the facilities and technology in the world of animal health care are making major advancements in terms of providing superior treatment to the animals, the cost of such treatments is hitting the roof. It is even now possible for certain pets to have transplants and even the likes of hip replacements which not so long ago were not even thought about. Many dogs are prone to certain conditions which may or may not be caused by their genes including epilepsy, enlarged heart or hip dysplasia for instance.

Also the symptoms for these diseases occur in dogs only after a certain period of time and by that time the pet has already become an integral part of our families. Looking after your dog’s health should never be a matter of financial concern which nearly guaranteed if a dog insurance plan is taken out. Dogs, regardless how well looked after do require regular checks for the numerous other problems they can be prone to: like mites, worms and vaccinations plus having their teeth cleaned for example.

The purpose of the insurance policy for your dog is to guarantee all these regular checks are taken care of without the need for any financial concern meaning you can continue to enjoy their company for a very long time. If such care is taken it will ensure a delighted and loving association between the dog and his owner. And so it is advisable to check with the other pet owners and companies providing such insurance and acquiring proper dog insurance for your precious companion.

POEMS I WROTE SOMETIME AFTER 1995

I have been asked recently if I have ever written any Poetry . I had said No at first. Then I remembered that some time back after 1995 after a break up with a Girl that I had lived with for a while. (Probably the only real relationship of my life, So Far) I wrote what I would call “two poems”!

The first I wrote right after the break up. I guess I was at the point I was just trying show I was a hardcore man and the break up did not effect me. So I was trying to be funny about the whole thing.

The second I wrote years later after my Dog “Mutely Junior” was killed. Juniors Mother had been the Girl I had lived withs Dog named “Riff Raff”, and his Father was named “Mutely” He had been my Fathers dog . When me and the girl broke up, Junior was still only a puppy about six months old and he was by my side the whole time. He was like my Son. The girl I had dated had kids that I helped take care of while I lived there and I do not think it could have been much harder leaving the kids had they been my own flesh and blood.

I do not fall in love easy and my life has always been about being a Biker and I have often said the last thing I want to do is anything like getting married and having kids. I have always said I want something more from life. So I found it very odd and disconcerting that I found myself so happy living with this Girl playing the roll of Father to her kids ! I guess what we tell ourselves we want and what you really want can be two totally different things! I was young then and as I look back now I can remember I did not keep it much of a secret that I wanted more from life and I can only assume that was a big part of why we broke up.

After the Break up I lived in a Cabin in the woods in upstate NY in a small town for about 4 years. Junior was almost always by my side and he and I enjoyed many adventures during that time. As much as I loved my life in the Cabin. I once again found myself wanting more from life. So I moved to Long Island NY. I was getting myself set up in yet another new life. During this time while I got my new life in order, I had left Junior with my Father to be take care of . One night my Father let him out and Junior ran off . A few days later Junior was found by the Train tracks. He had been hit by a Train and was dead. It was no ones fault. Junior had always loved fast to run threw the woods. It was part of who he was. When I heard about Juniors death I wrote the Second poem. Junior was the last part of what I often think of as a different life I once lived. With Junior gone it was at that point that I truly felt the break up.

These Poems are not of me now but of a Me I once was or maybe a Me I could have been. I believe I have now found my place in the world and I am almost positive I am happy. So I will post these poems for you all to read! Some may say these poems will make me look weak. To them I say always remember looks can be deceiving !!!

I hope you enjoy the poems. LJ James

Sweet Heart I’m starting to get the feeling you don’t Love Me !!!! By L.J. James

———————————————————– Home or Lost

I stand here alone thinking of a place gone Past. Never thinking that I have been away so long.

Its a strange feeling to know your home is no longer yours but now some others.

I can’t go back, but I still wonder if I would.

I was always cold on that hill but my heart was warm.

My Dog was born there but now he too is gone Killed in the Night by a train going some where I have never been.

My heart got broke but I did not cry.

I though I was happy before I really was. Now I wonder can I be again.

My heart calls out for me to follow the sun. But I don’t remember where it is that I was going before I stopped here

Am I happy here, I think so but I’ve been wrong before! By L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com
