I am by no means an expert, but I think it could be stress related and maybe even from a change in food and/or treats especially if she is normal otherwise. Try putting a dollop of pure pumpkin, not the pie mix, the pure pumpkin (We use the Libby's brand) on top of your dogs next meal and see if that firms the stool up. You could even give them a little spoon full if they have already eaten. I find the best thing to do with the excess is to put it into an ice cube tray and freeze it, then transfer to a ziploc bag. My dogs both love it and when either of them have an upset tummy I nuke a cube for 20-30 seconds and it is the perfect size and consistency.
Also, do you know if your dog was outside at the boarding facility and had access to eat anything that it is not used to? That can also cause tummy upset. If it doesn't stop soon, I would at least call the vet and see what they say. I would probably do that anyway. More than likely it will clear up in a day or two.
Izzy had this problem last month when she go ahold of a crab apple or something like that that was growing in the yard I guess but I have still not figured out where. I just know b/c she came running in the house with it in her mouth, half eaten. [8|]
A little pumpkin can do wonders for soft stool though....
