9 year old female jack russell urinating on floor

I have a 9 year old female jack russell and she has started to urinate on the floor when we are not looking. we also have a 4 year old female bischon who will do the same, but not as often as our jack. could it be an age thing with her? she is a very healthy and active jack. she does have alot of issues with her eyes but my boyfriend takes really good care of her and puts a salve in them which we got from the vet. I am concerned that our jack who,s name is molly may be having health issues due to her age. I am not only concerned for her but for our bischon as well as she is so attached to molly. Her name is ally cat. she has known no other pet. My boyfriend will be devastated when molly passes, I have never seen such a connection between the two. I am also afraid that ally will die from a broken heart. do you have any suggestions?
