Boy this is a tough one and many members will probably not agree with me but depending on what you mean by elderly(????) it maybe would be the best thing for your little one. Yes he would get adjusted to your new hours but I doubt if he would ever become completely housebroken. I do Yorkie Rescue and many times this is the number one reason people give these little ones up. I realize you love him a great deal but now you have to figure out if your decision is being made for the best interest of him. What would make him happy in the long run. This will be tough for you and my thoughts will be with you as you figure out what you are going to do.
