Hi! I'm Graciela Liana Grimball, but my friends just call me Graciela L.🐶. Thanks for checking out my dictionary. This is a list of words and phrases my dog friends and I put together just for our blog. We listed everyday phrases, then added our own meanings. Got a word or phrase of your own that you want to share? Add it in the comments, and I will add it to the list. Yes, I can write. Along with "sit and stay" classes, my obedience school also offered a "Writing English When You Don't Have Opposable Thumbs" class plus keyboarding and selfie courses, for those of us who might have been considering careers in social media in the future. So I enrolled, and aced them all. 😎 You can visit my dictionary below.
