Is this ok? She seems ok, but my wife and I just wanted to see what the general thought about this is.

Not ok. Yorkie's tummies are very small, they need food available to them more than once a day. Hyperglycemia though uncommon in adults can still happen, then there is the possibility of stomach torque. 2 to 3 meals a day are better for their system. What you need to do is be consistent with her potty training, take her out 1/2 hour after meals, first thing in the morning, last thing before bed time.
