It was not an easy decision, nor was it one made over night. After some discussion and a few tears, my owner and I decided it would be best if she released me. My heart hoped this day would never come, but that is not reality. Sadly it arrived rather quickly. You see, my master suddenly found herself moving and changing jobs. Her new job is at night where as mine is during the day. This means we would rarely ever see each other.
I will always remember our special times together. She was truly a one-in-a-million as she didn’t just care for me, she loved me with a love like no other. I still remember the day she asked me to move in with her!
I will continue to keep her scale close to my heart, but now as a memento of her love for me. My collar remains around my neck but it is unlocked. I will keep it for the rest of my life only removing it when someone steps forward to adopt me.

I remember one evening, she surprised me with a special dinner date. She treated me like a queen, when I deserved it, but also punished me if it was appropriate. She is and will always be a very special Au Ra to me. I will never forget her.
Master, if you are reading this, I want you to know there will forever be a hole in my heart where you belong. You are so very special to me. I will be strong, and I will move forward but you will always have a place in my heart. Should circumstances change in the future, I would gladly call you my owner once more.
I love you Sky.
