Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.
This is the camp. Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The acorns have been coming down on the metal roof since Tuesday. The humans haven't slept. The dogs have.
It was Friday, September 25th. It was cold at dawn in Camp Puppy Haven, warm by noon, the maples turning along the brook. We were working the day watch out of Acorn Impact Detail. My partner's Doris. The boss is Lieutenant Wren. My name's Puppy.
A man stood in the yard at six, looking up at the oak, waiting for it to explain itself. Doris went back to bed.
Sgt. Puppy's Field Notes are published most weekday mornings.
