Balki has a stuffed sheep named Dimitri. In the seventh season episode "Dimitri's World", Balki explains that the wool used to make the stuffed sheep is from an actual sheep named Dimitri from Mypos, who was killed while saving Balki from being run over by a carriage. Dimitri can often be seen in the background, dressed and posed in a way to reflect what is going on. For example, in the episode "Falling in Love is...", Balki puts out a bowl of wax lips for his date with Carol; throughout the episode, Dimitri can be seen wearing a pair of wax lips as well. Also, from Season 7 on, there is a framed picture of Dimitri on their mantle.
