Hello! I'm Graciela Liana Grimball, though my friends simply call me Graciela L.🐶. Thanks for stopping by my dictionary. It's a collection of words and phrases that my dog pals and I created for our blog. We took everyday expressions and gave them our own doggy definitions. Have a word or phrase you'd like to share? Leave it in the comments and I'll add it to the list. Yes, I really can write. Besides "sit and stay" lessons, my obedience school offered a "Writing English When You Don't Have Opposable Thumbs" class, along with keyboarding and selfie courses for those of us eyeing a future in social media. I signed up and aced them all. 😎 Take a look at my dictionary below.
