Casie and Taylor had not seen each other in a long time.  It felt like years, in fact.  They had been the best of friends, but moved away from one other just after Mouse College.

They studied together at the University of Wisconsin…. for obvious reasons.  I mean…. they were mice after all.  And up there… you could smell the dairy air.

But Casie got a job as a Sales Representative for Kraft Foods, and moved away to San Diego.  And Taylor landed a job in the Finance Department for Disney…. all the way down in Orlando.

They would write each other from time to  time.   They found one another on WhiskerBook.  And occasionally… on a “party” night out with other friends… Casie and Taylor would exchange a text message.  Just about this or that.

Friends… no matter the distance. For crying out loud… …. They would share cheese with one another… EVEN if it was a good wheel of Cheddar.

Then.  As chance would have it… they both relocated.  Incredibly… the two mice wound up in Hoboken, NJ.  But neither one knew of the other’s move.

Then one day at the park… by coincidence…. they met once again.  It was like they had never missed a minute in time.  Fast friends.  Comrades. Bosom buddies.  True friends, indeed.  They were together once more … and they were happy…  like a dog with a bone… or a cat with a moussss…… Never mind.  Back to the story.  The best of friends.. sharing their lives… just like in school.   Sitting down, yet again… and cutting the cheese.

They both felt their lives were renewed … like they had experienced mouse to mouse resuscitation.

And.  Tonight.. some friends dropped by.  I picked up a couple of pizzas.  You see… I like Cole Slaw with my Pizza.  It is kind of my latest little kick, these days.   They tried it that way, happily.  That’s how friends are.  Just like that.
