I left Caeser outside for a bit, and I saw him with a DEAD RAT in his mouth. He muist have killed a wild rat. GAWD! I SCREAMED. I can't bare to touch it, even if I really need to for Caeser.
What should I do?

How about collecting the rat with a broom and a dustpan, then dump him in a bag. I truly feel for you. Honestly,there would not be enough Valium in this world to get me through it. Or maybe better yet, find a braver family member, neighbor or friend to do the deed.

Whenever I take a dead bird from the dogs, I use the charcoal tongs, from the grill and toss it into our big roll-out garbage bin.
Good luck Jenny - it's just a part of the job at my house having so many dogs & cats!!
I still remember years ago, my dog had a rabbit foot hanging out of his mouth. It was just too disgusting, and I simply left him outside and closed the door. I couldn't look him in the eye for a week!
Good luck with this one, I never had to deal with a dead rat!

We have a flat headed shovel that does a great job of picking up dead creatures. Hubby gets that job.
Yikes! That's way to tactile for me, you would feel the "squish!" Even better than a shovel: a truck with crane or a fork-lift! Do you happen to have any spare ones hanging around your place?

No "squish" - I don't pinch the tongs that tightly and pick them up by a leg or wing.
As for the fork-lift - I DO have access to one but, it would take too long to get it to the house and, by then, there would be bird parts all over my yard and patio.
