I gave my baby her first bath today and she shook! She had gotten food in her hair and thought giving her a bath would be easier on both her and I. She shook after the bath and although I had my blow dryer on warm, she didn't like that either. I ended up holding her wrapped up in a blanket crying. Is it normal for them to shake? I had the heat in the house turned up to 76, so it wasn't cold. She is now sleeping in her bed with a blanket. I didn't do her head except for getting around her mouth for fear of getting water in her ears, sigh!

I would of taken her to the groomer but the vet told me to keep her away from other dogs until she is finished with her shots.

I feel like some kind of monster now for doing this to Bella. Sorry, guess I'm also feeling sorry for myself too.
