I don't feel that an 8.5 week old pup is ready for company. They are like a newborn baby at that point, plus they do not have all their shots yet and should be isolated from people and pets outside the immediate family. For this reason, I did not take my boys to public places or parks to potty until they had all their shots. The pup is probably just exhausted but when they are that young and tiny, it does not take much to tire them out. Nutrical is a must for a new pup. I would restrict his activities to let him get used to the routine of your home and to minimize exposure to anything detrimental to him. JMHO.
