There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

When talking about animals, it's common to also use the word "salvaje" for "wild." Plant life, though, is usually referred to as "silvestre."

Mi Leo es un perro doméstico pero a el le gusta pasear por los bosques (en su sueños) y hacer pipí sobre las plantas, asbustos y árboles silvestres para marcar su territorio y seducir las leonas de la zona, tal vez en su sueños cree que es un leon feroz y formidable pero cuando le pasa una leona y cuando el trata de rugir mirando la leona, una ladra se saca de su boca y entonces se desilusiona y se da cuenta de que el solo es un perro juguetón que no sabe morder ni un gato .. y entonces se rompe su sueño y se despierta y empieza a menear su cola suplicando una galleta (olvidandose de la leona de su sueño).
My Leo is a domesticated Dog but he likes to gad around the forests and pee on the wild shrubs, trees and plasts to mark his territory and to attract the Lionesses of that area, perhaps in his dreams he thinks of himself to be a ferocious and formidable Lion, but when a Lioness passes him by and when he tries to roar looking at the lioness, a puny bark comes out of his mouth (bow wow) and then he is disillusioned and realizes the truth that he is no Lion but a frolicsome, lovable little dog who can't even bite a cat, then his dream breaks off and he gets up and starts wagging his tail asking for a biscuit (forgetting the lioness of her dream).. haha
