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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 10/01/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: 'A cord of green wood got dumped in the wrong driveway on the hill road Monday. Nobody's claimed it. Nobody's touched it either. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Thursday, October 1st. It was cold at dawn in Camp Puppy Haven, frost in the low field, full color coming into the maples. We were working the day watch out of Misdelivery Detail. My partner's The Goose. The boss is Commander Soot. My name's Puppy. The woman who owns the driveway has come out to look at it four times. The Goose smelled it once. That was all that was needed.' Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
