Sounds like everything went normally!

I kno Tessa still has to nap after her bath because she shakes so much and it tires her out

There is nothing better than the smell of a freshly washed furbaby!

I'd give her a dab of Nutrical due to the stress of it. I use a wash cloth on the face and head (holding the ears so NO water gets in there). When it comes to blow drying, I sit on the floor with the baby and the brush and stay nice, sweet, and calm while the blow dryer is propped up (inside a boot works great!) at a leg's length away. My pups and adults end up LOVING being dryed if you can imagine that!!

VERY important that the pup doesn't stay chilled.

I know you didn't ask for helpful tips, just thought they may help for next time

. I bet she looks beautiful!!!

When I give mine baths they sleep for a long time after. I always give them a treat after a grooming session, so now they line up to get groomed!!! I bet she looks pretty.

I use treats too. They still hate the bath, but love the blow dryer and groom.
Mine are usually also sleepy after their bath.
