Play With Puppies, Take 100 Photos — Best Creative Stress-Release Therapy Ever
LUNA the Wonder Dog!
Take her for a walk, let her lick your face, rub her belly, sit on the toilette and let her stare at you while you take a dump. Rub the back of her ears and belly.
“Give her a paw massage separating her toes with your fingers. Make funny sounds to get her to tilt her head in confusion. Have a staring contest, then blow in her face and let her crawl all over you. Put her in a headlock and bark back.”
My brother’s family got a new puppy a few years ago after their lovely black lab, Brinna, passed away.
This new sweetie is called Luna, and she’s a doll! — I love that name!
“I later used an app called Insta Toon: Cartoon & Art Cam to create eye-catching artwork which is the primary effect I use on most of the story images within the IbraDan Creative Publication on Medium. (my design rationale is a post for another time)”
“In the case of tail-waggers — should you have naively visited the puppy farm and held pure love in your arms for a few minutes? — don’t make eye contact or let them lick your face, or you’ll get possessed (by them). — hook, line and sinker. — you’re committed at that point!”
“Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. — as the authorless proverb goes.”
“They give your life extra meaning as you wipe their latest Picasso poop from your hands while trying to make Sunday dinner. Or you gag as they barf an alien on your favourite shirt minutes before you leave the house for a job interview. — — need I go on?”
“I took my iPhone and followed Luna around for a few days. It was just the dog therapy I needed. We bonded, and I can’t wait for her to go nuts the next time I visit.”
“I took over 200 shots to get 50 good ones which I’ve reduced to my 10 favourites here. Then I slightly enhanced the images with the Camera+: Pro Camera & Editor a powerful photo editing application. All my photos are stored and shared on Apple iCloud. Over the years, I’ve collected over 50,000 pieces of media across multiple libraries.”
“I’m a mushy closet dog lover who envies any dog owner, often wondering how they do it — the commitment, vulnerability, expense and joy. Pets are a massive investment in time, love and money — then they die!” ~ Daniel-Ibrahim

I asked my parents’ souls to send me a sign, forgiving me for converting from Christianity to Islam
A poetic testimony of converting from Christianity to Islam and receiving divine signs from deceased parents’ souls. A moving interfaith spiritual journey of forgiveness, grace, and finding peace in faith transition. Alhamdulillah.
The sibling said, “Do not lose yourself in your new relationship.”
I replied, “ I have finally found myself after many years of being lost.”But you now look so different, and we are uncomfortable with your new persona. You do not fit our family mould.”
