Dear Editor: On behalf of the Gunning and Andersen families, we want to thank the entire Canton community and beyond for all the love and support you have offered over the past few weeks. All the kind words written and the thoughts shared mean more than you will know. It’s truly hard to comprehend what […]
Dear Editor: I just finished reading “Less than a Minute,” Joan Florek Schottenfeld’s column in the February 18 issue about the glorious life and heartbreaking passing of her beloved beagle, Snoopy. Ms. Schottenfeld captured perfectly the myriad joys of pet ownership — and the sorrow that inevitably awaits all pet parents when they realize their […]
I couldn’t remember the last time Snoopy had lain so quietly in my arms, allowing me to softly stroke his wiry fur. I buried my nose in his ears, which have always been the softest, silkiest part of him. For months now he had been content only when walking with Cheryl or sleeping. The rest […]

Last week I saw you for the first time since your birth in August. I’ve been in school and my sister, your mom, in another state and now you are no longer a squished newborn but a wide-eyed, responsive 5 month old. Babies scare me, in the way of one who doesn’t know how to […]
Dear Editor: So far, the amount of snowfall this winter is nowhere near the levels we experienced last year. While this is good news for municipal snow removal budgets across Massachusetts, the lack of snow is bad news for anyone who enjoys a break from seeing the litter that has piled up along our roadsides.
