Think about it...how happy would you be if you were with your soulmate for only a couple hrs each day..most of us would not be content. Dogs are no different. They have each other, BUT that never takes the place of their humans. They spend the day alone and sleep alone at night...
They are bored and look for things to entertain them.

If you can not put them in doggie daycare or have someone spend time with them during the day, then I would do what is best for the Yorkies...place them in a home where there are members who are with them during the day.

You having done nothing wrong, except to select a breed who needs more attention then many people can give them in order for them to be happy.

I know I sound harsh, but this is the very reason I do not place my puppies in home where the owners work...so most of mine go to people who have retired.
