Your post brought back some memories and made me chuckle since it happened several years ago! This didn't happen in The Villages!
I lived in northern VA (near DC) and had two cats -- one was on daily meds and fluids. I looked at many boarding facilities and chose this one because it was a respected veterinary hospital with a state-of-the art, large boarding facility. They wanted one cat kept in their higher care unit at a higher daily rate. I decided to keep the cats together and paid the higher boarding fee for both cats. The cats boarding cost more than my entire trip to Florida! I thought I was all set!
Wouldn't you know the DC/VA area had a rare blizzard when we were basking in the sun at our condo on St. Augustine Beach! They had well over 20" of snow and you may know that the DC area shuts down if they are even predicting snow! Unfortunately, only one tech was on staff when the storm started and no one else got in for many days!! The tech was too busy with so many animals to care for that he wasn't able to give give my cat his fluids.
Luckily, Cheetah made it through his vacation at this luxury boarding facility and lived to 18.
At least, you shouldn't have to worry about a blizzard! But, not all good plans go as they are intended.
