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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 09/24/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "A woman set her air conditioner at the end of the driveway with a sign that said WORKS. It was gone by noon. The window it came out of is still open. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Thursday, September 24th. It was cold at dawn in Camp Puppy Haven, warm by two. We were working the day watch out of Open Window Detail. My partner's The Goose. The boss is Commander Ella. My name's Puppy. The woman checked the forecast twice to decide whether to close it. The Goose put his nose in the gap. He had an answer." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
