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

It was Wednesday, August 12th. It was fifty-five overnight in Camp Puppy Haven, clouds moving through, seventy-eight and easy by afternoon. We were working the night watch out of Lawn Chair Detail. My partner's Doris. The boss is Commander Hatch. My name's Puppy.

Sgt. Puppy's Field Notes are published most weekday mornings.
