Financial Twist

With this post, I will take a break from Remy and talk about a nice piece of software that I find extremely helpful in my day to day finances.  I have been a long time Mint user, and while it's great and will continue to use it, it doesn't help me plan ahead.

I have set up budgets and just watched them fail because I don't update them.  In comes YNAB, you need a budget; this software is a great tool for tracking present and future expenses.  It's all about setting a realistic budget and then tweaking it to account for month to month variations.  I have set expenses, that cannot be tweaked, but then I have everyday things that are highly variable that must be changed constantly.

The goal of this software is help plan for the future and account for unexpected purchases that come up.  I highly recommend it to everyone!

After I purchased it, they sent me a link that will allow others to save money based off of a referral.

Check it out, they have a 34 day trial, you don't even need an email address to download it!

Time Flies


Wow, it's been a year since I last posted anything about Remy.  Time does fly!  He is now 3 years old and seems to be doing well.  His Addison's seems to be under control, I'm hoping the long term steroid use doesn't shorten his lifespan.  We have a vet appointment this week for some shots and a general check-up; I think he will also need some blood work taken to monitor the Addison's.

Animal House: Power Your Home With Pets


Animal House: Power Your Home With Pets

Sometimes it would be nice if Remy would do some chores around the house.  I'm thinking a part time gig would help him learn some responsibility.

You put staples, where?!? - See Remy Run Blog




Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted about Remy.  Just this past week we finally neutered him now that we have his Addision's under control.  While being neutered, the vet recommended stomach and intestinal biopsies as well as a gastropexy.  The gastropexy is a procedure where the stomach is sewed to the abdomen to prevent torsion during a possible bloat episode.

Remy has a pretty nice incision which is held together with some painful looking staples.  He was really out of if (as expected) after I picked him up from surgery due to the morphine they injected him with.  He couldn't walk straight, it was so sad, but I couldn't help to chuckle a bit.  His brain knew what he wanted to do, but his body just wouldn't cooperate.  The next morning he was still wobbly, but doing better.  As of today, he is feeling pretty darn good, he is wanting to play, which is a concern to me because I don't want him ripping those staples out.

His staples come out next week, so hopefully we will make it through without incident.  He is a tough spirit to contain.  I am continually amazed by his ability to bounce back with everything he has been through.

Here are a couple of links if anyone wants to learn more about a gastropexy and bloat:
