Okay just need to vent for a minute.
So I'm looking for a Yorkie breeder to find a furbaby but after e-mailing just about every breeder in my area from the YTCA.com site I only got a couple of e-mails back and they ALL wanted me to call to discuss puppies further.

Normally for someone this wouldn't be a problem but... I'm extremely telephonophobic. Just thinking about having to call someone nearly gives me a panic attack.

Why does everyone always have to insist on using the phone for everything!? I keep waiting for doctors and dentists and whoever else I may have to call for things to go to an on-line system or use e-mail but no!
I guess I should e-mail back the breeders who responded but I feel weird saying I can't call them... they're going to think I'm someone trying to scam them or something!

It isn't like anyone has ever heard of something being afraid of a telephone.
