Hello, my name is Black Velvet!

Let me tell you a bit about myself...

First of all, I was born on December 30, 2006. My dam's name is Miss Wise Obsession and my sire's name is Thistledown's Angus of Argyll. I look just like my dam except that I am smaller.

I have a brother here at Alpacas of Nottingham Hollow. Well, actually two of them. My big brother is The Sheriff of Nottingham Hollow and he looks like his sire I guess because he doesn't look like our dam. He's grey and looks like he's ready to go out and party because he wears a tuxedo - all the time! My little brother is Nottingham Hollow's Dougal. He looks a lot like our sire. We do all have something in common. We are a little on the tall side and we all like to kick. Well, it isn't so much that we like to kick as we sort of have to! We all have this one spot and all it takes is air and we just can't help ourselves. It's not like we are mean when we do it... it just sort of happens.

Anyway, I don't take great pictures because I am a true black and my human says it is hard to capture how beautiful I am. She said she'd keep trying though!

This year something big happened in my life. I was sold on April 26th! I get to stay here with my herd for some more time though so it won't be too bad. My human said that she is doing this blog so that my new human can keep track of me. Whatver. I don't understand a lot of what they tell me but I can tell they all love me so it is okay.

I will be back as soon as they let me in the house again - okay?
