My puppy is very whiny, low energy, clingy but also wants to be left alone today. He is definitely chewing on a lot today, but it's not much more than other days. He just seems sad. I'm wondering if he's teething really bad today or could it be something else?

It's hard to say. The mood of puppies can change very rapidly. As long as Chewie's appetite seems normal and he isn't like this all the time, I wouldn't be too concerned. But if he is constantly in this depressed state, I would recommend having a consultation with Chewie's vet.
