Default Possible Yorkie depression?Need advice please

We have a 1 1/2y girl.My husband was previously working only part time and 3rd shift so someone was always home.Now that my husband works full time we are both gone 9 1/2hrs mon-thursday. he still works thurs 11-7 and is home fridays (albeit sleeping).I feel she is showing signs of depression:mopey,she dosen't eat anything until we get home (we work together at a nursing home).The director of rehab brings her male yorkie to work and he stays with her at the gym.when it's too crowded she puts him in a blocked off section. So my thoughts are to also bring Honey to work (my office mates say that she is welcome) or find another yorkie to keep her company. We are not home enough to train another puppy "from scratch" but we were previously offered an older,neutered male yorkie. Would it make things worse for her or would she be happier with a playmate? I don't know what to do but she's breaking my heart.when we are home she is happy and playful but she now pees herself when we get home in her excitement which she never did before.I'm sorry this post is long but I really need advice from "seasoned" yorkie parents....
