LOL mine acts like a complete nut too until I can get the blow dryer on...then she still acts like a nut!
I do the same thing with holding her for a while- we just got done bathing her and I sat down next to the fire with her wrapped in a blanket...so loved that part until I got the blow dryer out. That's what got me thinking maybe I didn't have to do it all the time. I just wonder how her coat would dry since I've never done it...
