Extremely edifying.

Yeah, but it's all just right.

You'd be surprised how well dogs do in the snow, but you do have to watch them, especially the short-hair breeds, for hypothermia.

Good dogs, those.

I knew a family, years ago, that had a husky and a couple of husky-malamute mixes.  They had a giant tricycle for the dogs to pull most of the year.

It looks like the Erevain sequence will end up around 15,000 words.  That's a quarter of a mainstream novel, or a sixth to an eight of an ordinary fantasy novel.  I'll need to trim, and if I can't get it under about 11,000 altogether I may have to rethink it.  Meanwhile, I'm moving forward and looking back at once.  I may trim some of the earlier Erevain chapters, though I don't think I'll get the 2,500 words I'm hoping for there.  So expect edits i recent chapters (but not repubs, unless you ask.)

Well, by now Amy's reader has a sense of Tazar's packaging dimensions, and her narrator said it was a tight fit for him.  I think this distinction might matter in Lit Fic, but not in Fantasy or Commercial Fiction.

Your point about narrative versus dialogue is worth remembering.

Janet, yes I did say it's an aside ... an asidecar the size of a Cooper Mini.  Technology has a worse expression: 'A bag on the side'.  I'm sure Amy gets the picture, even if you don't.

To answer your Q? tell me where to look for the clues I missed.

I don't say the information shouldn't be there (though Tazar probably doesn't actually see them as he weaves through), but that if you put it in that place, in that sentence, in that paragraph, you distract from and dilute the main action of the paragraph.
