The city the Howards lived in just happened to have very, very poor standards regarding the disposal of radioactive waste (so poor that [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Sly Sludge]] was probably in charge). Clifford is a mutant, not the product of love, but since he's an animal he has no place at [[ComicBook/XMen Xavier's]].

[[WMG: The show exists in the same universe as the [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 2002 He-Man reboot]].]]
They're both from Mike Young Porductions, and have Cam Clarke on their voice casts. A version of Gwildor invents the Cosmic Key ala the [[Film/MastersOfTheUniverse 1987 film]] and it accidentally summons Clifford, Emily and the others to Eternia. Emily ends up becoming this continuity's version of [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]] with Clifford as her battle steed (gaining armor similar to Battle Cat), helping to defend Etheria against Hordak.

[[WMG: The Howards are millionaires]]
How else could they afford that huge doghouse, as well as the hundreds of gallons of dog food Clifford would have to eat daily?
** Well, last I had checked, the doghouse was a donation from the people of Birdwell. Not real sure about the dog food, however.
** A flashback episode states the people of Birdwell Island, along with the doghouse, also gave the Howards giant-sized bags of dog food specialty-made from the mainland, along with the doghouse.

**Then again, Emily Elizabeth looks pretty much the same as she did in ''Puppy Days'' as she does in the main series, so not a whole lot of time could have passed, unless, Daffodil was, as I would put it, "old to begin with" and died some time before, considering that rabbits tend to live for about 9-12 years and Emily Elizabeth is still a kid, however, we don't know how old she's supposed to be. Alternatively, if she hadn't died, then she might have been given away, considering that, initially, they couldn't bring Clifford with them.

* It's not impossible that Daffodil's death may have been the incentive for Clifford's growth. There is an episode (and book) where Emily Elizabeth was worried about the tiny Clifford's well being and wanted her puppy to be healthy and grow. EE may have been already traumatized about losing one pet, Daffodil, that she'd probably known all her life, and this may have sparked concerns about her dog.

Another point - I've seen her occasionally warning Clifford about dangers (such as stinkweed) and reading to him every episode, but either he's just doing whatever he wants wherever he wants without the girl in sight, or E.E. is using him for rides or to help her with problems. She essentially just uses Clifford for her convenience and let's him do whatever when she's bored.
* Of course, the dog ''has'' to be free-range, due to being a big red dog. But E.E. still shows no care or remorse.

Either that memory relates to Clifford trying to forget most of his puppy years, or he just forgot (he was the equivalent of 3 - 6 around that time and is now an adult). Daffodil felt rejected and became depressed, this either getting sick and dying or dying due to dehydration/starvation/being put down. Or possibly, considering rabbits lifespan compared to dogs, she just died of old age.

Emily Elizabeth just lets her dog go anywhere he wants, rarely commands or disciplines her dog beyond doing things for herself (like giving her rides orhelping her with something). [[FreeRangeChildren Free Range Dog]] here would provide the many tourists that come to the island for being a big red dog.

Clifford's dog house has a wall almost entirely filled with pictures of E.E. He couldn't have put them, since they're held on by nails. Sure, E.E. probably wouldn't be using hammer and nails,but she could have prompted them being put in.
