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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 10/26/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: ‘A woman hung a hand-lettered sign on her outdoor shower. Closed for the season. See you in May. She is the only one who uses it. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Monday, October 26th. It was gray and raw in Camp Puppy Haven, the maples mostly bare. We were working the day watch out of the Seasonal Closings Division. My partner’s The Goose. The boss is Lieutenant Dot. My name’s Puppy. The woman stood in the yard a long time after. The Goose leaned on her leg. Nobody closes something on purpose without missing it a little.’ Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
