Hi! I'm Graciela Liana Grimball, but my friends just call me Princess Graciela Liana Grimball for short. 🐶. 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. So I enrolled and aced them all. 😎 You can visit my dictionary below.
