After seeing episode 9 of season 6 I really was wondering where Ghost, the direwolf was.
It would seem logical that he would be around I think but I believe I haven't seen him
Since Jon resurrected

Since Jon resurrected
Out-of-universe explanation:
It is too expensive to shot scenes with direwolves. HBO is having problems with money. It's the main reason why there was no Ghost in that battle
This was confirmed by Miguel Sapochnik, director of the episode:
"[Ghost] was in there in spades originally, but it's also an incredibly time consuming and expensive character to bring to life," the episode's director Miguel Sapochnik told Business Insider on Monday. "Ultimately we had to choose between Wun-Wun and the direwolf, so the dog bit the dust."
He was left at the Watch Tower with Jon's BFF to watch over them. Jon, Sansa & Davos were embarking on a journey to recruit men, so he had to stay behind.
