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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 10/30/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: ‘Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The town garage, plow blades already mounted. The general store, woodstove going since six. One red maple at the bottom of the hill, still holding on. The kitchen clock. Then us. It was Friday, October 30th. It was gray and cold in Camp Puppy Haven, with woodsmoke on every road. We were working the day watch out of Supper Schedule Enforcement. My partner’s The Goose. The boss is Lieutenant Fenn. My name’s Puppy. The clocks go back Sunday. A man was explaining to his dog that dinner would be an hour later now. The dog didn’t agree to that.’ Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
