(click to show/hide)I really hope that separation isn't permanent. Bob is one of the best characters in the series. Diminishing his screen time and presence will make me sad.

Also, it make sense Winter would be stingy. Mab likes giving Dresden what she considers the bare minimum in usable resources relative to the task at hand, and half the time, her "gifts" are barely recognizable as such, like making him forget that fire was a thing in Small Favor.

(click to show/hide)Bob can still be in every book, even if Butters has him.  Butters has had him for three books, and we saw a lot of Bob in each.  With him regularly going into the field now, he's no longer needed at the house for exposition, especially now that he's got Maggie and Bonnie to use for that.

Don't worry we still have (click to show/hide)the evil Bob arc to solve. So he'll be getting his... plus since Butter's has been using his as an instrument of goodness I've started to wonder if he won't get to see on the 'faithlength' at some point, as his overall nature changes with that pesky name Harry gave him. Point being Bob will be back.

(click to show/hide)They can already come in whenever they want if they mean no harm according to and evinced by the good kitty, Cat Sith and the old house’s cleaning service thingies (I don’t recall what those little thingies were called, but, now that I evoke them, I wonder why, if they could bring Dresden frozen pizzas, they couldn’t have done the same for Toot and his ilk, thus creating a power dynamic to their benefit).

before the Winter Knight job he coulda made money all kinds of ways.
Use the kinetomancy to cheat at Roulette.  Use that or a variety of magic to influence sporting events, and gamble on them.
But mostly, just use thaumaturgy (sp?) to track down random veins of silver or gold or precious stones in the ground.
