Clifford's Puppy Days

Contradictons

Some story lines gets mixed up when transferring from the Puppy days storyline to the original. In the Puppy Day's storyline line, Clifford is friends with Flo and Zo two cats, but that contradicts what occurs on Birdwell Island when in an episode two cats invade T-Bone's yard (Billy and Betty) in the Original Series Episode "The Truth about Cats and Dogs" Cleo announces that cats hate dogs and Clifford agrees with her. (The timeline of when Clifford was the puppy size to him being the big dog on Birdwell Island isn't that long (within a year or so)).

In the Original series episode "Little Clifford" (most likely the base of the Puppy Day's storyline) Clifford is introduced into Howard family. In the episode there is no sign of Daffodil (the rabbit) although in the Puppy Day's Episode "Oh, Brother" Daffodil talks of when Clifford first came into the Howard Family and that she was getting the attention from Emily Elizabeth anymore, to the point of grabbing the attention no matter what the circumstance.
