Hmmm.  Judging by various Tibetan mastiff puppy-pics online, Mouse probably wouldn't even have been weaned yet if he really was small enough to fit in a coat pocket.  Probably we should disregard size and possibly paper-training -- Mouse is smart, he could learn about hygiene early -- and go by his ability to eat puppy chow, a dry food.  That'd make him at least six weeks old when Harry brought him home.

So that would place Mouse's birthday in early autumn of the series' fourth year.

This is a Tibetan Mastiff at 10 weeks. :D

Yeah...NOT!

At 8 weeks, when most dogs are weened, a large breed dog like Tibetan Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, Great Dane's, they are still half the size of that dog in the picture.

Another tidbit:

- In Ghost Story, Nick Christian tells Fitz he's been working on missing-child cases for thirty years.  That would place his first missing-kid investigation ~18 years BSF.

Here's a couple of flashbacks from the short stories:

- Harry gives Molly her first lesson in thaumaturgy a couple of nights after Proven Guilty, showing her how his tracking spell could use dog hairs as a link to locate Mouse (from "Bombshells").

- Harry's investigation of the boogeyman from "AAAA Wizardry" took place at least one year before he lectures on this topic to the junior Wardens.  (Deduced from the fact that he tells them it took the mother a year to recover from the conflict's psychic aftereffects.)

Added! Thanks, all!

I've also added Skin Game, which takes place in late February of 14 ASF, a little shy of a year and a half after Cold Days.

Demonreach had a fishing settlement founded, abandoned, and subsequently expunged from all records in the "Late 19th Century"

Also, Baby Borden would have been born two months after Changes, assuming no complications.  Georgia was 7 months pregnant in Aftermath.   

Anyone know if name or gender has ever been mentioned?

I don't think there is enough information to get that specific.

So sometime after Eb reached maturity and possibly a score of years before Thomas was born

Skin Game gives us a few new additions to the timeline, including the 'birth' of 'Harriet' (official name yet to be determined). And the death of Deirdre.

I know I'm being picky here, but ... you have SG in February.  Typically the ice on the Great Lakes doesn't start breaking up until March. 

"Your friends have been trying to visit you for several weeks, but the lake ice has held unusually long this year. Alas.”

Butcher, Jim (2014-05-27). Skin Game: A Novel of the Dresden Files (p. 9). Penguin Group US. Kindle Edition.

This year, they brought in an Ice Breaker to break the ice.  I could totally see the ice being a problem until late March or early April if Mab is taking a hand in it.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.
