Roscoe Sad Eyes

Each one of us has a secret weapon we use to get the humans to do our bidding, though Roscoe sad eyes don’t seem to work on squirrels.

The eyes have been deployed on the Hu-Dad

Roscoe is the master of the sad eyes to get the Hu-Dad to do what he wants. In this case, though, the secret weapon hadn’t been aimed at Hu-Dad as much as Roscoe’s greatest nemesis.

Come on, squirrels. look deep into my eyes
Come on, squirrels. look deep into my eyes

We know this may shock you, but the eyes didn’t work and the squirrels did not come over to play with Roscoe, much to his disappointment. Of course, then Roscoe suggested Hu-Dad get him a pet squirrel.

Want you get me some squirrels?
Won’t you get me some squirrels?

    For just pennies a day, you can get one boy or one girl siberian its very own squirrel to play with.

    Sorry I am late today Roscoe and YES-those eyes can really make we humans cave in BUT the squirrels will not I’m afraid. As far as Hu-Dad getting you a pet squirrel-NOPE!!
