My dog has been tired lately.

My normally super-energetic dog has been pretty tired lately. We've just moved into our new house three days ago, and all he's done all day is sleep on my bed. We've taken him to the house a few times before we moved in so he could get a feel of the place, and he really liked it there (he didn't want to leave the first time we took him over there). I'm really worried because this is completely out of character for him. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Maybe he's disoriented by the change and a bit stressed, let him rest.

As long as the dog is with you, I don't think the problem is the house change. Unless he can't do the same activities.
I take my doggies to new houses in the summer and they addapt very quickly.
Maybe, he's not feeling well for another reason. Wheather change, stomach problem...I don't know.

Could be he's homesick. As long as he is still with those he loves, he will adapt, but as twistermind mentioned, there could be a physical problem, so a visit to the vet might be advisable just to rule out illness.

Awwww, he's upset.
All the usual smells and sounds that he has known have disappeared.

Engage him in play to take his mind off it.
