About Cookie
Cookie was a much loved springer spaniel, who lived with Nigel (the co-founder of B2G) and his family until she passed peacefully in her 16th year, in late summer 2024. The Williams home feels a lot emptier without her padding about the place, especially the sixth step of the stairs, where she slept and snored very loudly. If you like a well crafted eulogy, you can scroll to the bottom of this page and read the moving tribute written by Nigel's son.

Eulogy to Cookie (2008-2024) by Louis (1999-)
And you said you never wanted a dog.
One of the core agreements within the lengthy arbitration process of getting a dog was the understanding that I would walk her everyday. And that’s a deal you should never have made with a 10 year old boy!
In the wild, runts are usually discarded. They don’t survive. They aren’t loved. I think we should all be proud to say that Cookie was unaware of this fact. Never has an animal been so widely loved. Yet, this being said, she also had enemies: the doorbell; Tesco delivery men; hoovers; those particular slippers mum had; and not to forget the local car thieves who were bested by her, as she sat, slightly confused, in the backseat of our car. She always loved a drive though...
Cookie’s personal roadmap is extensive and thorough. In sixteen years she explored every inch of Chiltern woodland, including that unexpected stint in the GX golf course tunnel system. Crucially, she also diligently checked out every pub near every walking spot. Loved and known within these pubs, Cookie cemented herself as a fundamental part of the community, with her incredibly loud snoring, which echoed through the creaking floorboards of the Jolly Farmer, and beyond.
And she'd eat anything under the sun. Apart from broccoli. Tesco may never recover from the upcoming financial hit on their cocktail sausage margins! And every time I grab the can opener I can’t help but be reminded of the ghoulish scrape of a tuna tin over tiles. In little ways like that she will live on.
16 is a fantastic effort for a runt. I like to think she stuck around so long because, above all else, she just liked being around us. Even when Dad sprayed her with the hose, or we made her wear that festive scarf. She was a perfect shadow. You'd never be in a room alone, and if you moved, you'd have a diligent patrol. Even in her golden years, when she struggled to see or hear, still somehow she was always there!
And if the dents in the cushions or shadow in the carpet on the sixth step suggest anything, it’s that she’ll always be around!
