In terms of bed time; could you put her in a crate and then put the crate on your bed so she could be with you?
In terms of Muffin and Cassie being together, try walking them out on leads together. Also a swimming pool is wonderful exercise, first one by one, and then together. Swimming will cushion all the joints, and even cushion a dog bumping into the other.
Just one other thing, do not ever second guess your decision on non surgery; you did make the best decision for your dog, and your life.

Gemy,
Thank you so very much for your kind words. They really hit home and I meant to write you sooner. Because, you are right, you are right, you are so very right, you have no idea. I have been second guessing my decision on non surgery every single day. I am hoping I am making the right decision for her. I really am because I am worried sick on a constant basis now, and actually, I don't know how to stop worrying. And I don't know how to stop second guessing what would be best. Maybe I could give her years and years more life by having this surgery. This is what is going through my mind. She has managed so far to get through so very much, and she is such a tiny dog, and she was poisoned by xylitol, had pneumonia twice, had teeth extractions twice, spayed once. I mean the list goes on and on. She is a tough little munchkin. Maybe she would come through in flying colors and live a much more doggy dog life, much less protected and sheltered, and maybe even much longer. I just don't know how to be at peace with this. I am too frightened to do the surgery, but I am second guessing myself every day. Your comment was right on. Thank you for your words.
Love, Shellie
