Confused Poor Rita, she's not a happy Yorkie

Yeah, I'm hoping she will realize she was meant to be loved on and paid attention to. Rita seems emotionally bankrupt. She sleeps most of the time, unless we're holding, feeding, or brushing her. I don't know if she is depressed or just isn't use to anyone giving her attention except bare necessity like feeding or bathing. She will come to me when I call her, and she likes to be held, but she doesn't seek out attention on her own, like my other two. Rita is the first one I've had that I didn't raise from a puppy. I am wondering if anyone else has been through this? I have seen improvement since we first got her almost three weeks ago. When we come home from being out somewhere, she does show some excitement now. The first week she didn't even pick up her head! Rita is 6 yrs old, she walks and behaves like she's 15! I've not seen her run, play with my other two, not even interested in a toy, which given Yorkie's curious nature, I find disturbing. Am I being a worry wart?
