friend left for vacation left her puppy in my care for 4 days, her puppy kept nipping barking at my shih tzu dog. My dog was happy playing with him, but after all nipping he didnt want him again. After the puppy left my dog is more quiter than usual eating, drinking, bowel movements are normal.is excited little quiet again. When we are outside walking or in pet store he is happy normal, when he is home I feel he is sad, what could be the reason does he miss him or still scared what should i do

It could be Sky misses the puppy. Some dogs like having the company, even if it can be annoying at times! If you have the time and resources, you might consider getting another dog. Or you could set up regular playdates for Sky with other dogs. Best of luck.
