We've had our Gracie for about the same amount of time and gave her a bath for the first time last night. She acted the exact same way. I put her in the bath tub with warm water, made sure the house was warm, and promptly dried her off and used the blow dryer, but she shook, shook, and shook some more (like she was freezing). I really think she was mostly scared though. I know how you felt. I felt like I was being so mean, but I know she needed it. I think she felt better afterwards too. I'm not looking forward to the next one, but I will do it so that she can eventually get used to her baths.
