Dammit, well-meaning modern gravestone transcribers, I’m only gonna say this hundreds of times: IT’S NOT A Y, IT’S AN OBSOLETE LETTER CALLED A THORN THAT LOOKS LIKE A MODERN LOWERCASE Y AND WAS PRONOUNCED “TH.” SO UNLESS YOU CAN INSCRIBE A CORRECT THORN, IT’S “THE BODY.”

My brother took this pic of Pokey on Bainbridge Island in about 1984. Pokey belonged to a neighbor, but would spend all day over with us because we have her nonstop attention. When we went swimming she’d lie on the diving board watching us & her ears would hang over the edge of the diving board
