They love to play and get along great, and I really think now it is Moka she doesn't want to be away from, not us. Moka is very mellow, and calm, and when we are not home she sleeps and I think Mylee will follow her lead in that way, so I really think now leaving her out is going to work best for her, for now. I was really surprised today the difference in leaving her out made. I am a big fan of crate training, but this one obviously is not going to adjust to it, and I am ok with that as long as she is safe otherwise. Thanks for all the input. It has been great help.

I'm so glad it worked out so well. She's happy. That's what I did when mine was very young - limited her space. She did fine, too.
