[Roxiesmama]

SO and I went away for 4 days, and Roxie stayed with my parents. My parents aren't exactly dog people, so Roxie's time was mostly divided between her ex-pen and the back yard. Roxie LOVES the yard at my parents house...it's big with lots of room to run and smell things. My mom walks her a lot because she doesn't want her to have an accident in the house or anything.

Anyway, we've been home for two days now and she is back to having free reign of the house and all her usual places to hang out, play, and sleep. My mom said Roxie didn't eat very well while we were gone and I chalked it up to her being sad to be away from home. But, now that we're home she still isn't eating like she usually does. Usually she gobbles her food up almost before the bowl can hit the ground. Since we've been back I have had to coax her to eat, or leave the bowl and eventually she saunters over to eat. She also seems to be sleeping more than usual, and isn't in a very playful mood.

This isn't the first time we've left her with my parents, and we've even boarded her at the vet's office. It sometimes takes her a day or so to get back into the routine at home, but now we've been home over 48 hours and she still doesn't seem happy to be home. What is going on? Should I be worried?

We have to board her in September for 3 days due to a family wedding that's out of the area. I am nervous that she is going to be all weird afterward.
