  Growing up, Neydi wasn't allowed to have dogs, so she knew as an adult that she wanted a houseful of them. "We've always liked dogs, but my mom never let me have them," she told BuzzFeed News. "As soon as I moved out and started my new life with Carlos, we knew we wanted a dog."

  Then year three rolled around, and in came Chewy. The shepherd/husky mix wasn’t Neydi’s choice, but when she saw what the shelter was like, she knew they had to save him.

  At first, adding a puppy to the mix was a bit stressful, but now they seemed to have found their groove.

  "This is how the dynamic works in this household: Captain is always trying to stay out of trouble, Teddy is always starting the trouble and Chewy likes to get involved," Neydi said. 

  Neydi's sister Odalis shared the family's custom on Twitter, and now it's got a lot of people thinking about boosting their own #relationshipgoals.
