I wanted to jump in and tell you a little about my situation. There has been nothing ideal about it and I have a loving yorkie who sometimes drives me crazy, but loves me all the same.

I got Harley in second year university, I was taking a full course load and worked 45 hours a week, my bf and I had rotating schedules and took care of him as a puppy, the only me time I had every week were the two classes a week that Harley and I attended. I loved it. He got incredibly sick last year, and that caused some issues, but we juggled things and learned how to take care of him without spending hours and hours at the vet, and he turned out fine. Ok had to skip a few classes, and call in sick a few times, but luckily my boss is an animal lover and she covered for me.

I am starting law school in september and will be living alone with Harley, no bf. I have confidence that with daily walks, and letting him cuddle and sleep with me at night he will be fine, despite long hours of studying, classes and work.

So yes it's doable. My only advice is if your future yorkie is hyper, don't skimp on the exercise, that'll frustrate you more when you are tired. Harley is an energizer bunny! If he doesn't get some form of exercise he licks out of boredom which means I have to clean all the bed linens anyways, and do extra work. So we are starting to get more regular with our walks and activities.

Best of luck, it sounds like a good time for a yorkie to join your life and your family.
