Editor's Note: Creative writing through the Fun-with-anagrams method!How to Sharpie a Shar PeiUsing permanent markers on your Shar-Pei is easy, fun, and regardless what the packaging might lead you to believe, somewhat non-permanent. This is an excellent way to show off your dog's beautiful coat.Steps 1. Make sure your Shar-Pei is relatively immobilized. If this is a problem for you, you probably don't have any Shar-Pei I've ever seen. 2. Uncap your Shar-Pei and get to work! 3. Er, that should read, Uncap your Sharpie. I'm not really sure what the other one would mean. Tips * The process will go much faster if you don't use a fine-tip. Try the Magnum size. * If your Shar-Pei is unusually wrinkly, you might want to keep extra markers around. * Consider using a washable marker to outline any difficult parts. * Sharpies come in a variety of colors. Be sure to take advantage of as many as you can. * Although these techniques are pioneered for use on Shar-Peis, you can Sharpie virtually any breed of large short-haired dog. Warnings * This may be illegal in some areas. * This may or may not affect the market value of your Shar-Pei. * Marker fumes can be dangerous to your dog, and to some extent, you. Work only in a well-ventilated area. * Never Sharpie your Shar-Pei's face. * Before you start, verify that it is in fact a Shar-Pei, and not a fur sofa pillow or something. This can be challenging with Shar-Pei puppies; consider consulting a veterinarian.
