I am so sorry but I can relate, my Yorkie is extremely attached to me also. I was laid off for the first 4 months that she lived with us and unfortunately I spent a majority of that time spoiling my puppy (I do not regret it one bit).
You received some very good advice here, the same information I was given.
1. You need to get out and leave you Yorkie regardless to how much he barks and throws a fit. Make sure he is safe and has all the necessary comfort items he needs.
2. When he starts barking and wanting your attention and you are leaving don't baby him or pick him up, just tell him goodbye - he needs to learn that you will always come back.
3. Let other people hold him, walk him and feed him (someone trusted of course).
You need to be able to have time out with your friends. away from your Yorkie.
Good luck and keep us posted.
