Some joke,UPDATE: It turns out that my other was pulling a fast one on me. She was "Joking". This has to be the SICKEST joke I have ever encountered. So the rat is alive and well.
lol, then she really will feed it to the dog.Oh man, it's payback time! If it is a common color of rat you can buy a frozen feeder lookalike, thaw it and put it somewhere that she'll find it and think she killed it - like the bottom of an empty washing machine. Then hide your pet in a temporary cage and announce that the rat really did get out and act heartbroken.
