He went to the vet yesterday to get groomed and his shots. Now he won't play with me. He just sleeps and don't chase me around like he used to. Is he mad at me? He didn't even wake me up at 6:30 for his breakfast like usual.

Maybe he just doesn't feel good after his shots. Totally normal. He will snap out of it by tomorrow.

would you be happy if someone took you out and made you do something you don't like?
Between the excitement level of the grooming and along with having the shots, you dog is probably just tired and having effects of the shot.
In a day or two the dog will be her happy self again, and make sure you love her and play with her so she knows that grooming and shots are not a bad thing

Well there is this shot,my dog got that shot too because that is what my dog acted like but we gave her two days to spend at the vet when she got fixed and shots so she can rest. The vet told us that the dog will want to just be left alone for a few days because the shot hurts and it took a lot out of the dog.

Most likely the shots. Most of the time a vet will tell you that the dog will be sleepy for awhile. If your dog is not up and normal by tomorrow call your vet and ask them.

Very normal shots tend to make puppies tired and/or grumpy. It wares off soon but if it continues for a period of time I suggest taking him to the vet.

Dogs do not hold grudges for one. He is very small right now. His visit to the vet and the medications he was given are probably what has caused him to be worn out. Try not to push him right now. Comfort him and be gentle and in a short while he will be as good as new.

If he had some shots then there's your answer. don't worry some pups just get tired out after having their shots. If he doesn't perk up by Monday call the vet.
Don't worry so much he had a big day and shots too.

the vet does say that they will be a little drowsier than usual after their shots just let him rest and if he doesn't get better in a day or so go back to the vets.

Vet visits can be hard on dogs
All vaccinations are is a weakened or dead bacteria. It still has minor side effects. Your dog should be better in no time. Just give him a while to fight the bacteria. the good thing is that he cant get it anymore :)

This is typical behavior when a dog doesn't feel well, it's probably the shots, don't take it personally, your puppy isn't mad at you.
