Soft poop can be a sign of a medical problem such as intestinal worms. I see Garlic (LOVE her name!) is a puppy, and those can be common in puppies. Give her a deworming treatment and keep an eye on things. If her poop continues to be soft over the next 24-48 hours, have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.
