The RTS Pet CREW
Meet the crew keeping our energy levels stable and our spirits fully “charged.” From delivering daily doses of morale to ensuring optimal tail-wag alignment, they’re a critical part of our workflow—even if their QA standards are mostly treat-based.
This certified beach babe is Gus Powers. He and his brother, Chase, have the unique and impressive responsibility of keeping our CEO sane while simultaneously driving him just a little bit crazy. And there are no two better suited for this job, though Brice and Alex might argue otherwise.
THE RTS PET CREW GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Contouring & Patient Positioning: What humans think is bending a patient just right. We know it’s all about how we can bend, stretch, and somehow triple our weight to trap you in whatever cozy spot we claim.
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Officially, a precise treatment method. In reality, it’s us finding that perfect sunbeam to nap in… and demanding belly rubs mid-session.
Hyperfractionation: They call it frequent, small doses of radiation. We call it putting the hyper in everything—zoomies, playtime, and random sprints across the home offices.
Treat-ment Plan: The daily strategy that keeps morale high. Translation: snacks. Lots of them. Always.
Breaky-Therapy: AKA breakfast. Our preferred treatment window, non-negotiable, and frequently administered with extra belly rubs.
CAT Scan: Seriously, humans? We’ve been calling it a CAT Scan forever, and now it’s a CT? Expect protest measures… like knocking things off counters, beds, and desks.
Linear Accelerator (LINAC): We’re still figuring this one out, but we assume it’s a very fancy laser pointer.
Fractionation: Small doses spread out over time? We interpret it as small naps, scattered strategically throughout the day… all under your watchful eye.
Couch: In the clinic, it’s where the humans do all that important work for their patients. At home? It’s ours. Claim, nap, repeat. Couch time is mandatory, and yes… all the blankets belong to us.
The Charge: Our default setting. Always pawsitive.
Special Note: Humans may run the clinic, but we run the laps, the lapses in productivity, and the occasional therapy sessions disguised as chaos.
