Chief cuddle Officer
BILLIE
Meet Billie, Ardvale’s very own four-legged diva. At 9 years old, she’s the team mascot, emotional support provider, and occasional drama queen (in the best way). With her mesmerising blue eyes, she’s mastered the art of getting what she wants— usually her toys or all the attention in the room.
​
Billie is also a seasoned actress, having starred in Bounce (yes, she’s a paw-fessional). When she’s not busy entertaining her adoring fans (that’s us), she’s probably lounging around or subtly judging your life choices. Just don’t forget her snacks. She runs a tight ship around here.
