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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 10/20/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: ‘This is the camp. Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The leaves came down over the weekend. The hill opened up. You can see the neighbors’ houses again. You couldn’t since May. It was Tuesday, October 20th. It was thirty-one degrees at dawn in Camp Puppy Haven and sixty by afternoon, not a cloud anywhere. We were working the day watch out of Sightline Restoration. My partner’s Dave. He’s new. He brought a toy phone. The boss is Lieutenant Hatch. My name’s Puppy. A woman noticed the neighbors could see into her kitchen again. She hung a curtain. Her dog has been seen his whole life. He never minded.’ Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
