Numero uno handled.

Kennel lady called back. Said she lost my phone number. She says that every time.

What she needs to say is "Give me a list of dates you need me to watch her and I will write them on my calendar right now and you won't have to worry and I won't have to make up excuses why I didn't call you back because I really just don't like to talk on the phone."

Now...must find something new to worry about...
