Those who keep saying : so many mistakes, this isn’t how it is in Young Sheldon Well, guess what, this scene was written years before Young Sheldon was even thought of ! And it’s pretty difficult to perfectly plan a work of fiction for at least 10 seasons and a 5 seasons spin-off without any plot holes or anachronism because when they start writing the show, they can’t even be certain that this will go beyond the 1st season ! So they can’t decide « Oh my, we can’t mention a dog because in 2 seasons we’re gonna mention he hates dogs and in 15 years, we’re gonna write the spin-off without a dog ! » or remember 4 seasons later « wait, we can’t make him hate dogs for the plot of this episode , he mentioned 62 episodes ago that he had a dog ! » That’s how hard it is to write a very looooooooong work of fiction. And more importantly : it’s fiction ! Do you really expect to make as much sense as if it were reality ?
