HI and welcome to YT. you will find lots of great info and advise here.
I think your little maxwell will be just fine. Lots of people on here work all day and have yorkies. I'll be getting my yorkie next weekend and she'll be staying alone while i'm at work. i'm going to go home during lunch but she'll be by herself for 4-5 hours at a clip. they adjust. lots of dogs stay home with the people work.
