about me
I chose my personal assistant in 1978 while hanging out at Macy's. She's been my slave ever since. I have friends and fans all over the world and why not? I'm a bear of the world and a bear about town. I've traveled extensively and will continue to do so as long as I have the stuffing. I recently discovered the joys of fashion and am now a bit of a clothes horse bear. I have a little friend, Filbert I met on my recent trip to Washington and the South. He's my little buddy, though he does get himself into trouble from time to time. Can't hold his booze! I'm a gin bear, myself and have had myself many a wild night! I'll tell you some of my stories someday! On January 3rd, 2007, after a whirlwind, gin and scotch whiskey soaked courtship, I married a lovely, sweet (and a little salty), lady bear named Ursula. We were married at the Ritz Carlton, San Francisco by Captain Puppet. Sigh.......I am a wordly wise bear and yet I am Ga-Ga in LOVE like a School Boy!!! Sigh.......

I'm not sure how many of you knew, but our dear Pirate Sock Cat was scheduled for limb replacement surgery here in Reno. The foremost puppet limb surgeon was lined up and though he was on vacation for a long time, finally we were ready to proceed. Then the unthinkable happened! Someone from the "dark side" got the surgeon drunk, then KIDNAPPED him!!! Pirate Sock Cat was on the table all ready to go! Luckily, I had stayed at a Best Western hotel the night before with Captain Puppet and neithe... read more

Ursula and I are so very pleased to be able to announce the arrival of our son! When I say arrival, i mean just that! He's a little foundling we've taken for our own. You may remember when my dear little friend Filbert was lost at the school at which my assistant teaches. I had met the Art teacher and she heard of the sad disappearance and helped look for him. Well, she recently found this tiny baby bear in the hall outside her room and though she tried to find the baby's parents, no one step... read more

Gilbert is a bear of the world! He has impecable taste in friends (look at his assistant, after all). He has a true poetic sense and a linguistic gift. Therefore, we all overlook his gin binges. Here here for a remarkable bear!

gilbert is a fine bear and a loyal friend. he is better and smarter than the rest of you put together, except for flea. he is an organizational genius. he is one of the few stuffed animals that i do not want to taste. if only all the bears on tribe were more like gilbert, then tribe would be a much better place. you the man, gilbet!! err, the bear. peace, lothar the testimonial fairy

What can I say about such a dashing, debonair, bear-about-town? He's a poet and a scholar. He's had some rough luck, losing his best little buddy, but I admire how he's determined to turn that tragedy into a new destiny: to take the world by storm!
