I don't have a yorkie yet but thinking about one...

I work 8-5 and on nights when I take yoga I don't get home until 9pm or 10pm and this is around 3 x during the weekdays... There may be other times when I do stuff after work and won't get home until 10 or 11 pm etc. Can a yorkie stay home alone on a regular basis around 12-13 hours a day?

I did a search on the board and a few folks said their dogs were ok with it once in awhile; but what if it's on a regular basis? (no sitter or neighbor to check in, just me).
