My Shihpoo puppy is peeing a lot more than usual. Is this normal?

Hi, We have a 14.5 wk old Shihpoo, who is happy go lucky. We've had him for a month now, and he loves to drink water. He normally has a "big" pee in the morning, but today in addition to his morning pee, he has had 3 huge pees (as is voiding his entire bladder) within an hour or so which is not normal. I mean he has a few larger pees (and of coarse some smaller ones too) but fairly spread out over a day. Should it be of concern, or is it just a puppy thing?

If this is a one time thing I wouldn’t be too concerned, but if Toothless is urinating more frequently throughout the day, if he is straining to urinate, or if he seems to be drinking a lot more water as well you should see your veterinarian.
