I bought a new toy

We have ferrets. I love the little weasels and have adapted to their odor. I learned what to clean and how often to clean to minimize the, uh, stench in the house.

All was going well until we took in two foster ferrets who we ended up adopting. Sonya is a blind, geriatric ferret with insuloma and adrenal disease. She screams when other ferrets come near her, and if they express their dominance she looses control of some important body functions.

Old Moe is a sweetheart who reminds us of the wise, good puppets in the Dark Crystal. He goes out of his way to use one of the designated boxes. Alas, poor Moe had a cancer tumor and it had to be removed. Along with his tumor went his penis bone. Poor fellow has poor control over his liquid output, but seems happier overall.

Needless to say, I have to clean the floors a lot.

This is where my new toy comes in.

I got a mop that makes steam. You fill it with water, attach a mop pad, and wait 30 seconds. Then I give it a few pumps and the steam rises. Steam is released as you push the mop back and forth. Since boiling water is involved, you forgo the soap. The mop pads are washable and not disposable (a biggie for me). I'm okay with the electric thing because I have solar panels.

This is a cool toy. There's something pleasurable about seeing steam when you're cleaning. The only way it could be better is if fire were involved.

Fire. Hehe Hehe.
