Puppy Won't Poop on Puppy Pads?I have a 14 week old Chi puppy and he will go pee on his potty pad, but for some reason he sneaks and will poop on the carpet by our door. I don't get why he's not pooping on his potty pad. How can I fix this?

So now we are at a loss.

Finding Soft n Fade Denim Wash?I used to buy a product called Soft n Fade. I have looked in many stores and can't find it. I can't find it on the internet either.
