Ok, so he was not really black, instead he was a medium grey, but he surely was a rat.
Sometime this last winter, various "critters" attempted to make their home under our box-barn. It had always been undesirable, but it became absolutely unacceptable a few weeks ago when we found a snake quartering under there. After killing the snake, I poured a small concrete footing to keep these "critters" out. Evidently, one rat remained trapped under there and eventually dug his way out. Upon seeing his hole, we tried to get him out but we were not successful. This morning, Pascal made a bunch a racket in the box-barn and came out triumphantly with a large rat. However, both Pete and Pascal have learned that it is more fun to play with their prizes than to actually kill them, so I carefully placed several lead pellets in his mid-rear section. I do not think that he suffered much at all.
I covered up his hole, so that hopefully we can be a happy, "critter" free family again.
Enjoy!

So where does Black Jack Belarat come from?
Since this was published by "Taylor", I am sure that my brain could not go as deep as yours.....waiting for the revelation of where...or how that name came up!
