Thanks everyone for your replies and support.

The person isn't doing anything to me, they are doing it to someone else..I can't really explain. It just hurts me to much to watch it. I've tried talking to my boss about it but she doesn't want to hear about it anymore -- she says it frustrates her to hear about it because she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want to fire the person as the person has no where else to go. But the person is damaging her business and is going to give it a bad reputation. I don't want to work in a place like that.

I'm not worried about finding a new job -- I could get hired over the phone, it's so high in demand. Groomers are very hard to find in Canada, and even though I'm not 100% trained yet, alot of people like that because they can train you the way they want and avoid any habits you picked up somewhere else. My main worry is finding a job that pays as much as this one does. I get around $300 a month in tips alone.

I am breeding now -- had my first litter last year -- my problem isn't people coming here, it's me having to travel to show and trial my dogs. Visa doesn't even have her CH yet, should have had it forever ago, but there's just nowhere to show. I have to wait until someone else goes so I can get a ride with them, and depending on people is a nightmare.

This person is always going to work there, no doubt about it. I remember my boss saying that she would only get rid of the person if someone really important threatened to leave if she didn't fire the person -- but I don't want her to think I am giving her an ultimadem, so if she does fire them, I will still quit. My other coworker says she is going to quit because of it too, and also move away. Maybe this will be a huge wake-up call.

I think it would be much scarier living there if I didn't have the support down there. My aunty will help me out whenever, she will always be there for me. She even told me there was no way she would let me move to another part of the Lower Mainland, I have to live in the same city as her. And of course I will be close to Ashley and Slick, so I will have some friends there. I haven't been hanging around my friends much lately anyways. The person that will be hardest to leave is my boss. I'm very attached to her...but I can get a good long distance plan and call her all the time. Sometimes I feel like the times we spend together isn't important to her like it is to me, so maybe when we only see eachother a few times a year she will appreciate me and our times together.

I'm still very half and half...but I really think I will do it. I'm scared, but I had to learn last year in my counselling that I can't always let my fears stop me from doing something that might be good for me. I have to make myself happy, not just sit back and wait and take compromises and not speak up.
