Lu is so cute! It could be he has intestinal worms. They are common in puppies and cause diarrhea. If he isn't up to date on his deworming treatments, pick one up for him from the vet in the morning. Should he be up to date on his deworming treatments, then I'd make him an appointment with the vet to be checked out. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
