Aww, he knows mommie was leaving and his frustration at being left just got the better of his Yorkie temperament. The little hams - they hate not being constantly attended to and detest being alone, especially when puppies as they are pack animals, genetically programmed to want to stay together with at least part of their pack at all times. He's doing all he can to handle his stress from what's coming and one day as he matures, he'll come to accept this as his lot in life and begin to realize that hey, wait - mommie comes home every time and then we have a ball and I can just rest and watch the house while she's away. Once he begins to own his territory, he will accept he's in sole control of the home while you are away and take his job as security patrol seriously. In the meantime, get the cloth pads and enjoy him. Blake sounds like a cutiepie with tons of spirit.
