Oh dear.

First you have to figure out why she is "yapping". Is she "yapping" to come in or is she barking at something outside? How long is she left outside before she starts to make noise? When she is actually "pottying" outside I doubt she will be yapping at the same time, likely its before or after she is finished, she wants back in to be with you.

She is not "getting mad" at you when you leave the house, she is suffering from separation anxiety. http://www.doggiedoor.com/sepanx.shtml This link is about how to handle it. Since you are around a lot she's grown accustomed to you being there. I would also recommend crate training her while you're away, and even for short periods while you are home -- The crate for her safety since she is chewing things.

How long ago from today did she "get out"? How many days into her heat was she when she got out? The first thing to do is make an appt with your vet and bring her in for a check up. The vet will be able to palpate her or do an ultrasound but you won't be able to until she is further along and starting to show. Gestation is around 60 days give or take a few. If she is pregnant she will need prenatal care. She also needs to be checked for infectious diseases. There is a lot of equipment you will need for whelping and you should invest in some breeding books to prepare yourself. If she is not pregnant talk to the vet about having her spayed to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

I am not sure how to help the yelping thing but please take her to the vet . Yorkies are normally very petite and if she is pregnant you need to make sure the male is not alot bigger then her. Some petite bitches can't handle giving birth at all let alone to bigger breeds. The last poster is right. She definitely needs prenatal care. It is only fair for her to get it. good luck. let us know how she is doing!
