Palo Alto’s Downtown Farmer’s Market on Saturdays is a treat for the whole family! Grandparents, parents, children, and frequently the family dogs are regular visitors. Everybody enjoys the live music and the fresh-cooked food, and adults seek out just-picked fruit and vegetables, along with colorful bunches of flowers. But lately the magnet that draws the children<\/em><\/strong> is a pair of ladylike dachshunds, Ginger & Peaches.<\/p>\n Long-time companions of Nancy Pleibel, a manager at the Farmer’s Market, Ginger & Peaches used to wait in Nancy’s car until closing time. Recently, Nancy asked if she could leave the two dogs tied up to a signpost behind the FoPAAS tables. We said Yes, so she brought out a plush bed and a flannel blanket for the dogs’ comfort and left them watching the activity on the street from their little perch on the curb.<\/p>\n
