I know you want the companionship, but really, what kind of a life would the little Yorkie have left all alone with no one for all that time? Yorkies are so involved with their people and so full of life, it would probably just sap the little one's spirit. Just wait until you have a better situation and then you can give all your love and devotion to a sweet baby that you can really share a life with. That is aside from all the physical and health issues and potty training problems you could run into with a dog left alone so long. Plus, you would feel so guilty the whole time you knew that poor baby was home alone for so long you probably couldn't concentrate well enough on your work. I know when I just leave for a very few hours I worry and feel guilty about Tibbe home alone.
When I couldn't yet get another dog after I lost my last one, I got into collecting teddy bears in a big way. It helped.
