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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 10/29/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: ‘A woman at the end of Quarry Road bought six bags of full-size candy bars. Nobody has trick-or-treated on Quarry Road since 1994. She bought them anyway. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Thursday, October 29th. It was gray and cold in Camp Puppy Haven, the wind taking the last of the leaves. We were working the day watch out of Candy Bowl Oversight. My partner’s Doris. The boss is Captain Biscuit. My name’s Puppy. One bag was already open. It was Thursday. Doris took the porch. I took the kitchen.’ Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
