Qwick is my first Cavalier. Ik bought him when I was 21 years old and was still going to school and living with my parents and even before I met David. So he mainly grew up at my parents' house and it took him a while to really trust David once we met.. After a while (and of course a LOT of treats) he started to accept him ;-).
In the meanwhile Qwick is almost 10 years old and he's starting to get some minor issues.. Last spring for the first time they heart a light heart murmur with him but since he's not really having problems with that he doesn't need medication yet. Then he's also having some artritis on one of his knees due to an accident he had when he was a puppy. Other than that he's doing great so he's definitely going to stay!
Just recently he got a new friend, Qarrotje, she really is a good companion for him, quiet as she is, he really likes her. He likes the other 2 as well of course but if they are a bit loud he prefers that they stay away from him though so his nap doesn't get interrupted by growls and barks :-).
Qwick will forever remain unique for me though because no matter what he will always be my first Cavalier!
