I don't write women's fic, per se, though. I've had just as many male readers as female. *g* (For some reason, I see RWA and imeediately think of that really old Roseanne movie called She Devil. Don't ask me why. LOL)

Maybe Vincent figured out there was something wrong with Shiksa and put on a great act so you'd drag them to the vet? If that's what he did, then he should get extra pets and chin scritches for being so helpful. *g*
