Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.

 Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 05/06/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "This is the camp. Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The leaves are coming in. Mud's back. It was Wednesday, May 6th. The weather was threatening at Camp Puppy Haven. We were working the morning watch out of the Phone-In-The-Hand Task Force. My partner's Murph. The boss is Lieut. Pickles. My name's Puppy. A woman was scrolling the news on the porch. The news was the same as yesterday. The porch was not. A storm was on the horizon." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
