I don't mean to make light of your situation but my Maddie Jo has always hated a bath too. She'll be 5 this month and, although she has calmed down in the sink, she still gives me the stink eye big time when I give her a bath! She doesn't shake the water off when she gets out...she just lays on the towel or her bed and continues to give me the stink eye.
She loves to be brushed and the blow dryer is 'o.k.' but she absolutely hates to get wet...not only in the sink but boy does she look 'offended' when I make her go out in the rain, even a sprinkle, and our overhang is 2 1/2 or 3 feet so she stays under that but she still gives me dirty looks until I let her in.
So, it did get better for us...yah, dirty looks are better than trying to use a sprayer on a wildcat!
Good luck
