Dudley

Loving a dog is a precious thing everyone should experience. This precious little dog was our entire life. His name was Dudley. There is not one day that goes by that our hearts are not saddened by his passing. For over 12 years, he gave his love and lots of wet kisses. He had a nickname and we called him Little DD– which stands for Little Dudley Dog. In 2013, Dudley was diagnosed with canine multiple myeloma. He was treated at the University of Tennessee Veterinary College of Medicine.Treatment is very expensive but your canine companion will get the very best care. The entire staff are amazing.

Loving a westie. This beautiful Westie is the inspiration for the Big Wanda Knows website logo. His name is Wallace and on Novemeber 15th, 2017, he celebrated his 15th birthday.

We also have another celebration for this day. Wallace has been cancer free for almost 2 years.

In January 2016, he was diagnosed with lymphoma. His oncologist at the University of Tennessee Vet School told us “If Wallace responds to chemo and his cancer goes into remission his life expectancy will be 1 year.”  Wallace had 6 months of chemotherapy. On the average, the cancer will return 4 to 6 months after the last treatment of chemotherapy.

Wallace is considered a miracle cancer patient. He is still in remission.
