My puppy is regurgitating a little bit of food after she eats and naps. It just comes up. She is still playful and eating and drinking. What's wrong?

Regurgitation can happen with over-activity but if this is happening regularly it needs to be assessed. Conditions like megaesophagus can cause regurgitation, especially in puppies. I would suggest having her examined by a veterinarian to make sure there is no underlying illness causing this problem.
