Having dogs which need regular bathing, now I am envious! Wonderful that Pumpkin is so good for bath time.

As Karen said, do not give chase, this makes it a game. Some trainers say you NEVER chase your dog, not even outside in the yard playing. Dog chases you, always, you chase dog, never.

Pumpkin has learned that, if she picks up something YOU want, then you give her attention! She has you trained!

In addition to teaching drop it, you can do this: show NO interest in what she has. This reduces the value of it. If it is not a prize, if it is not 'treasure,' she won't want it either.

Pick up a toy, something you WANT her to have, and make a fuss over it. Squeak it (if it has a squeaker), coo at it, put it on the floor (so it is in reach for her) and roll it, if it is a ball, bounce it. In future, (and this may take a few weeks of retraining), when Pumpkin wants attention she will come to you with a toy in her mouth. MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HER ATTENTION! Stop what you are doing and play with her - but no chasing. You want to reinforce the new behavior. You won't have to do this every time for the rest of her life, but you do need to do this the first few times, because this is still part of the training process.

Please post more pics of your pretty girl, in Dog General, now and then, so we can enjoy her too!
