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.
