I have been working with another woman in the pet business (hers) for almost a year. I love the dogs I am working with but working for her has become a nightmare. She is inconsistent and flip flops from week to week and tells me one week that she is going to take the dogs from me because she is broke and needs the money and tells me to find a pt job. So I look for a pt job. The next week she says she didn't say that. I have the emails to prove that she did. She complains to me all the time about her finances and tells me every week to hold my paychecks in case they bounce.
Money wise I am sinking! I want to break out on my own and do the work myself. I am capable and have the ideas to do it. As it stands now, she pays me a % of the client's fee. In other words whatever she wants to pay me.
My question is do I just end with her and give up the dogs I already have with her? Once I do, they are gone, they go back to her. But I just cannot work like this anymore.
Thanks for listening!

You need to start looking for another job. The woman you are working for doesn't know what she wants to do and it's not right of her to be wishy-washy since it affects another person. It's inappropriate of her to draw you into her personal financial calamities. Get another job and get out of this dreadful situation.

'Money wise I am sinking! I want to break out on my own and do the work myself. I am capable and have the ideas to do it.'
There is a message that she is sending you that you are answering yourself.
Think this - if you took the actions you know you are capable of, what's the worst that could happen. If it ain't life threatening, you really don't have much to lose just going for it.
And a lot to lose if you don't take this opportunity.

Take her to court and fight for the dogs.
To me it sounds like you can handle your own actual business. Think about getting your own little shop, seriously. Its always better when your the boss and you don't have someone telling you what to do. If you have to then get a loan.
