Gianni with "Spanky" the pup, and Carmen Seals. Carmen is Ruby's daughter -in-law (her husband, Josh Seals, is currently on tour in Hawaii with his brother Sutherland and his dad, Jimmy, and uncle, Dan Seals. They have been playing gigs all around the U.S. and will return from Hawaii on Tuesday, unfortunately too late for us to meet them). This is the first time the two Costa Rican girls got to know each other.

Spanky is Carmen's doggie. He doesn't like the slippery wood floors and will wait on the rug for someone to pick him up rather than try walking around on them.
