Hi Khristy and welcome to YT! Tell us a little about your Yorkie baby .... age, name, etc. Just because you work absolutely does not mean you shouldn't have a pet! There is a ton of good information here about what you can do if you must leave the puppy alone. How many hours a day will he/she be alone? Do you have someone who could possibly look in periodically while you are away? Most important are the safety issues. Do you have an area where the puppy can be confined so as not to be injured when left alone. Give us a little information and we will try to help you with all the advice we can gather!
Don't feel guilty .... lots of puppy owners work and cannot be with the baby 24/7!
[BTW ... where do you live in Alabama? We have a home there!
