In July, his Facebook timeline was filling with well wishes from his friends and clients as he, Meredith, his wife, and Wonder Mutt were moving out of state.  The details he  managed to keep under-wraps.  However, in looking back… there were hints in some of his Facebook posts.

Today, on Facebook, Shane revealed to us his new position as resident Farrier at UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital in California!  The photo to the right shows Shane in his new office.  Many of us are excited for his new job and feel that UC Davis is fortunate to have him. 

Congratulations to Shane on an a job well done.  We look forward to following your travels on Facebook and UC Davis Farrier updates.
