Ceiling Fans and Carpet Stains

I've had my ceiling fans running pretty much non stop all summer long, so when fall arrived and the temperatures dropped into the very pleasant 70's I gave my electric meter a respite and switched the fans off. And to what should my wondering eyes should appear, but an inch of fur lay on the shiny blades there! What manner of super powered dust bunnies can attach themselves to rapidly spinning guillotines of death??? It defies all common sense. Not only can they jump on there but they set up camp and seemingly breed at the speed of light and multiply like their rodent bunny cousins. It's disgusting. The blades are so hairy they resemble the leg of an Eastern European factory worker. I'm not sure if I should go after them with the vacuum or a straight razor! Lucky for me I have a tall, dark, and handsome husband that is a genius with the vacuum attachments. He went after my ceiling fans like a squirrel goes after a newly filled bird feeder. After and hour of the vacuum humming and the husband buzzing from room to room, my fan blades were as shiny as a baby hiney! I've got the upper hand (or paw as it were) on the ceiling fan dust bunnies for the moment so the next battle is that of the stench monster left by my basset hound, who has apparently lost control of his bodily functions. Phase one of operation de-funk is to replace the foam insert on one of my couch cushions. A trip to the fabric store yesterday accomplished that. Now to shampoo the carpet...AGAIN. Between my anti-potty toddler and my basset with the weak bladder, my carpet has seen more pee than a urinal at a rest area... its to the point I'm considering removing the carpet and installing a cement floor with a drain in it, that way I can just take the hose to it in the event of a "accident" or in most cases in my house an "on purpose" .
