A close cousin of the Carey Special. Made with Pukeko fathers and named in honour of our recently dearly departed English Cocker Spaniel Caspar after 13 highly entertaining years.
RIP old friend

A nice looking fly Johnno, poor old Caspar. Gone, but not forgotten.

Johnno, Howdy,
Beautiful fly, truly befitting as a tribute to your friend that never stopped loving you.
I feel that it is easier for us to lose them than it is for them to lose us. That would be why they have a shorter life span then we do.
Besides, ......................they are never gone as long as we remember them.....

Johnno,
Beautiful fly and a fine tribute. I've shared my life with a lot of dogs, not a bad one in the bunch. The best dog I ever had was every single one of them. I am truely sorry for your loss.

Beautiful fly.....nice tribute to you best pal. You'll see 'em again. i've had a lot of different dogs.....loved them all dearly. Nothin' like a good dog. Maybe do one in white and call it, Casper the Ghost.

Johnno,
Thirteen years - must have had a full life. I find it both easier and more difficult to lose them when they are old. It's kind of comforting that they are deeply missed, if you see what I mean...
