Something Sinister on Birdwell Island

Occasionally my circumstances in life compel me to watch Clifford the Big Red Dog and its companion series Clifford's Puppy Days. Am I the only one who has pieced together the terrible tale of Clifford and his flight from the authorities?

Clifford's Puppy's Days focuses on the early life of Clifford. During this time, Clifford was a small red dog sharing an apartment in the city with Emily Elizabeth, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, and several other pets. The animals include two cats and Daffodil the rabbit. Very cozy.

According to the opening credits of Clifford the Big Red Dog, the Howards had to pack up the family and leave the city. The move seems to have been abrupt. At this point, Clifford is, as his name implies, enormous. He is the size of a house. They move to idyllic Birdwell Island. But something is missing.

Where is Daffodil? Where are the cats?

And, why is Clifford so big?

The show wants us to believe that Clifford grew so big because of the love of Emily Elizabeth. Maybe there is a secret reason that makes more sense.

I demand that the authorities on Birdwell Island ask Mr. and Mrs. Howard to account for their other pets. An inquiry needs to be undertaken to determine whether there is any connection between the disappearance of these animals and the size of Clifford "the Big Red Dog." Did the Howards pack up the family and leave the city to escape prosecution? Are they harboring a fugitive dog?

Cleo, T-Bone, and Mack, please be careful.

Before seeing your post, I had a theory that the family was in fact evicted from their apartment once it became evident that they were in violation of the "No Pets" clause in their lease.

You've raised some good points though... disappearing animals, gigantism, the obvious move to evade the authorities... The nail in the coffin might be if it came out that Emily Elizabeth's father worked at Los Alamos before moving (read: escaping) to Birdwell Island
