Welcome to you and your little one. She's a real cutie. I love her. Just a little suggestion. Do you like her with her ears down or would you rather that she had them up? Because if that is so, I think you could thim the hair on the ears so that the feel lighter and little Maddie will find it easier to get them up. It's very easy. Never mind if you don't have electric clippers. You can do it with a pair of scissors. Just trim the hair one third of the way down from the tip and clip off around the edges.
In any case, Maddie is so precious that either ears up or down won't make that big difference.
Rubi.
