The Best Of our Bessie©



It is with such pain that I try to realize the loss of my sweet, quite, lovely girl, Duty. You see, we lost our lovely "Duty" February 15, 2000. And I'm just now thinking I can begin to write a tribute to her. It is with great sadness and much heartfelt pain that I allow myself to realize she is infact gone from this world. She was my friend and constant shadow. What can you say when you lose a precious gem??

My sweet, lovely Duty.....so missed

The above picture was taken just weeks before we lost our lovely girl.


Duty, my sweet, quite, gentle soul....©

When you came to us, you were a frightened young girl
You had no idea what your job was in this world
You were your Mother's first, and for us, her last
You have been our link to a wonderful past
Your Mother cared for your babies as her own
And in the end, you cared for hers just the same
You have been our friend and constant shadow
Always coming, immediately, no matter what the name :-)
:-) Voodoo, Do, Duty, DoButt :-)
You will never be replaced, tho your daughter is trying hard
We know you have gone where good health is the reward
You have given much to us and our hearts are filled
But, somehow that thought does not stop the tears that have spilled
Tho, you didn't like the ring and never gained your Ch title
You have been the Champion of our hearts
You were much like your mom, and inside I feel
I can see all three of you if I sit very still
I know you will never really leave us, you see,
You are still here within your children in every way
So many words I wish I could find
To express the feelings within my mind.
You were my special one, You were my quite, gentle soul
You always sat quitely next to me to watch the day unfold
Yet, still there is no way to find the rhyme or reason
Of why we had to lose you too. But, we know you are in a better place
With your mom and brother to share that wonderful space across the bridge
Just over the bridge you wait for us, tending the gate
Until we enter on that day when too we meet our fate
We have your children and grandchildren to remind us of your loving way
It is in our hearts that you will always stay
Please find peace, safety, health and wait for us
My dear sweet, quite, gentle soul, we miss you greatly

***Please do not take this poem, it was written through the tears of sorrow and sweetness of memories by me, Ginger Woodcock© for our lovely girl, "Duty"***


"Duty"was a stunning black tri bitch with heavy copper trim and limited white. She was OFA good, Eyes clear, and full detention/scissor bite. She was 10 1/2 yrs young when she left us this year. She was a littermate to "Jesse". She was a typey bitch with very nice movement, clean coming and going. She produced moderate to heavy bone, nice heads, good clean movement, and great temperaments. She was out producing her Dam and this was just what we wanted her to do. She proved her worth many times over as a wonderful companion, excellent specimen of the breed and an excellent brood bitch. She was very unhappy in the show ring, so after garnering a 4pt mjr we decided to respect her wishes and retired her to running the home and kennel with her mom, "Bessie". Since the loss of her dam, our Lovely "Bessie", "Duty" became the reigning Queen of our property. :-) Now in her absence her oldest daughter, of ours " Gracie", has stepped into the position.

Duty is a "Bessie" daughter
