Drinking and Peeing english bullie;

Question
I currently have a 5 month old english bulldog puppy and he can not seem to get enough to drink.  He will drink, drink and drink - if I would not limit his in take. Even when letting him outside he tries to find water to drink, is this normal?  For example, after a rain he will lick the ground, grass, planets etc to get water.  I do not leave out a water bowl, b/c we are still potty training him and want to limit the amount of water he drinks, but I do not deprive him of water, when a water bowl is not out, he does get ice cubes.  Is this normal?

Hello Tera and English bullie pup!  I wonder about his diet?
What brand are you feeding and what treats?
Also, I wonder if this is a little OCD - obsessive compulsive with the WATER???  Hard to say-
Let me know what you are feeding..
