Okay, so last year, my mom bought this Christmas moose that she lovingly named Barry

This is him

Cute, right?

Well, for whatever reason only known to my brother, he decided that he wanted to put Barry in different rooms of our house and it usually scares the shit out of whomever happens upon Barry; usually the person who finds him is the person that my brother wanted to scare.

So far, Barry has been found

On our dining room table

On my dad's side of my parents' bed

In my parents' closet

Outside their bedroom door (at 5 in the morning and scared my mother shitless)

Near the kitchen door

Near my fucking bed

At the bottom of my sister's stairwell

In our bathroom

And down the hallway

This has gone on for 9 days and it doesn't seem to show signs of stopping. Most of the time we know who gets Barry because it's always followed with a very loud "FUCKING BARRY!!!!!"

He found his way into my sister's room.

If you're fit or mostly physically able, you may not think about others' mobility. I'm not quite talking about becoming "immobile" as we understand it in the feedist community, but just something for my fellow feeders to consider (and anyone who is walking with people who may be larger). It's going to be different for everyone because every body is different. This is based on my own observations.

As your feedee grows, they might not be able to walk as far as they used to. This means you might need to take more frequent breaks with them. Their body might hurt when standing or slowly browsing (shopping for example).

Weather may also affect this. I live in a climate that's very dry and hot in the summer. I have to pay extra care to my feedees when out and about with them in weather like this.

If you drive, when you get to the car, start it and crank that air conditioner all the way up. Let the car start to cool as your feedee gets situated. It might take them some extra time to get in and get their seatbelt on. If your car's A/C is broken, get it fixed. Seriously. Drop the $$$ and do it because you do NOT want your feedee to be uncomfortable after walking and hefting themself into the car (especially in warm weather).

Tips:

Scout out your trip before you go! Look for coffee shops to take breaks in. Are there public benches? Do the shops you plan on going to have seating?

Ask your feedee how far they can usually walk. Record this and be aware of how far they can actually walk (they might over-estimate it).

Check-in with your feedee frequently to see how they are doing. They might be ready to call it a day far sooner than you're ready for and that's ok.
