Helping stacking logs

I am slowly working on gathering the downed trees I had cut into logs for later splitting into firewood.  Rascal came out with me this afternoon to help.  Actually, his help today was looking for mice nearby.   At one point when moving some logs two mice ran from the logs into the grass along a fence.  Rascal was looking for mice at another nearby fence.   I called for him.  He came my way, but not completely.  He wanted to keep looking for mice in his area.

A short time later he came over and then sat and watched the area I last seen the mice.  He waited and waited.  I didn't have my camera but decided to go to the house to get it in order to take a photo of Rascal looking for mice.  When I came back Rascal was no longer waiting along the fence.  He came walking over to me.  This is the photo I got of him.  Of course, the tip of his tail was curved.
