During our mountain vacation, my husband and I were strolling with our Labrador, Cooper, heading to grab some pizza. It was getting dark, and we were just chatting away until Cooper suddenly went bonkers—jumping and growling at something directly in front of us. That's when we realized we were about to bump into a big ol' bear! Needless to say, we high-tailed it back to our cabin and decided to drive to the pizza joint instead.

Cooper's alert reminded me of how even our furry friends can come through in a pinch, thanks to a little divine intervention. It's like Romans 8:28 says, right? God works everything together for our good.

That trip was a game-changer. It got me thinking about starting an apparel business named after our brave buddy, Cooper. And as we got rolling, it felt like God was nudging me toward something bigger—Christian apparel.

So, here we are at Cooper and the Bear, all about shining a light on God's goodness. We're hoping our gear sparks some deep conversations about Jesus, giving folks a boost in their faith journey. Thanks for hanging with us and being part of our adventure.

Loads of love,
Natalie & Cooper
