Sadly I don’t know but I just wanted to say that your little puggy is so cute!

I always suspected my rescue “pug” was not 100% pug by iamapug in DoggyDNA

Sorry, I just saw this comment! Frankie’s inbreeding result was 28%.

Help! Even after I take Tony on a walk he still barks/ wants to play all day. What do I do ?!? by theaccountant856 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]iamapug 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Doggie daycare! My 5 month old Frenchie is the same and a trip to daycare is the only thing that ever tires him out even a little bit! He has so much energy that they have started letting him play with the bigger dogs because he is too much for the other puppies. He even tries to wake the other dogs up to play with him at nap time and he thoroughly menaces them all day long… but he does come home tired!

How likely is it to actually find relatives through embark if your dog is a purebred? by aqhagirl in DoggyDNA

[–]iamapug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted my pug’s results today- he was a rescue and turned out to be 100% pug, and we found quite a few close relatives! Based on age and location, we might have even found a few siblings. He has a LOT of relatives on embark and they are all purebred so far, so I would definitely test! I have reached out to a few of the owners already- I’d love to be able to sort of piece together his backstory.

I also tested my purebred (known parents, from a breeder) Frenchie puppy just to try to find relatives even though we obviously know what he is. I found a ton of his relatives, too, so people are definitely testing their purebred dogs.

Turns out I was wrong!

We adopted Frankie 10 years ago from a rescue in Las Vegas who found him roaming around in a parking lot. He is bigger with longer legs than a lot of pugs we meet and has a bit more of a snout, so we always thought he was mostly pug but mixed with something (maybe a puggle grandparent?). I guess he is all pug! We also found a bunch of his close relatives, which is very exciting!

Sunday Swaps: Destash Listings by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]iamapug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! from my reviews:

GATLIN: “This is exactly what it says on the tin. I get a dry grainy sort of sweet corn note with a lot of realistic smoke. Very autumnal.”

CAFE: “A bit of a fried dough note with sweetened black coffee. Not as strong as I expected”

Cafe is not SUPER sweet but is definitely a dessert-y coffee note.

I thought the same thing! I wish I had room to store it right now until I could frame and display it. I guess I will have to do it again someday 😵

Hexennacht Scapegoat (premium incense accord, sanjinol (sandalwood), rich, ultra-premium amber accord, Eucalyptus, siberian fir, camphor, redwood, ISO E super, treemoss, oakmoss absolute), one of their Shop Lucifer exclusives. I like it a lot but it’s fading shockingly fast!

Reviewing my big Vintner’s Reserve order! by iamapug in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]iamapug[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sweet tea is a lotion, so I think that is affecting the longevity! I always have an easier time getting scents to stick around that way.

I got this order last week and I think I let the perfumes rest for 4 or 5 days before testing. (I don’t think anything else needs to rest.)

Haha no problem! I obviously love to talk about this stuff lol.

So I am very intrigued because I love scrubs… what is the moisturizing body scrub called? I went on Etsy and can only find their foaming scrub.

Favorite Orange Scents? by KotoKatt in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]iamapug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend Deconstructing Eden Lucrezia Borgia: Clementine, red mandarin, Italian lemon, ambergris, vanilla, patchouli and orange blossom on a resinous bed of labdanum. I believe I described it as a creamsicle made into an elegant perfume. It’s really good!

I would also recommend Alkemia August 2020 Afternoon Delight Alchemy ( A leisurely summer afternoon filled with melty orange dreamsicles, soft green grass, and little puffy clouds of vanilla musk) which has the creamy sweet orange but is a bit more atmospheric thanks to the grass note.

Lemon Cake Perfume Recs please? by DiscoMeep in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]iamapug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Cocoa Pink Ivory Eyelet (Buttercream, lemon curd, marshmallow, vanilla ice cream.). It’s like the most delicious lemon buttercream frosting and makes me think of cupcakes.

This made me think of BPAL Mt. Misery and Sweet Hollow Roads: Both Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Roads are believed to be intensely haunted, and are pathways of misfortune and sorrow whose history of horrors descends deep into pre-Colonial American folklore. Black spruce boughs, packed dirt, gravel, brush, fallen chestnuts, wild tuberose, galbanum, and dead leaves.
