Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.
The library taped a sign to its door: OPEN, AIR CONDITIONED, COME SIT. By noon there were nine people reading who don't read. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.
It was Wednesday, July 1st. It was near ninety in Camp Puppy Haven, and building. We were working the day watch out of Lake Reentry Detail. My partner's Murph. The boss is Lieutenant Fenn. My name's Puppy.
A man kept refreshing the forecast, hoping the heat would break. It gets worse Thursday. The dogs found the shade at nine and haven't moved since.
Sgt. Puppy's Field Notes are published most weekday mornings.
