So, our 8 and a half week old puppy is baffling me. I feel like a new mom and worrying about everything lol. Here's the deal...

I'm crate training. Started the first night we brought him home. He was going pee every 2 to 3 hrs through the night. Aprox the same during day. The past 2 nights I've set my alarm for every 3 hrs and he doesn't go. Just wants to go back to sleep. My husband leaves for work at 6 am, so we're all up. This is when puppy wakes up and decides it's time to pee... A lot! Same thing during the day. He's going on average every 4 hrs. He's eating and drinking normally. When he goes #1 & 2, there are no issues. Everything is coming out just fine.

Is this a cause for concern? Maybe he's just learning to hold it?
