Animals mentioned in Sherlock

Well, there are lots of animals mentioned in Sherlock, apart from the obvious HOUND.

I'll start with "a FLY in the ointment".

Any more you've found?


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."


I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: Animals mentioned in Sherlock

Sherlock, your big brother and all the King's horses couldn't make me do a thing I didn't want to.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting for a crazy man in a blue box to fall from the sky...

But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)

Re: Animals mentioned in Sherlock

Spider :-) *Even though it is an arachnid. Does it count?

Re: Animals mentioned in Sherlock

"James Moriarty isn’t a man at all – he’s a spider; a spider at the centre of a web..."

Of course the spider does count!

Re: Animals mentioned in Sherlock

Allow me to sum up all the Sherlock zoo members so far.
We have:
hound
fly
rabbit
(lucky) cat
lark
hoarse horses
fish
spider
(a not mentioned, but shown) cricket
(a not mentioned, but shown) bat
(A mysterious) goose

I have 7 more on my list plus one that sprung from my funny little German brain:
Irene Adler

Oh, I use to make lots of lists of that kind in my brain (or mind palace ) when I'm bored during waiting in a queue, when I'm without a book to read, during ironing the laundry or going to work. Sometimes I write them down, spreading them everywhere in my flat. It's fun!
And Sherlock is a great source for making lists!
