I thought that when dogs were neutered, they didn't do this, and he doesn't do it to any of his other toys, only Elmo. Is this normal?

I guess Hump-Me Elmo has got to go. Some dogs will retain some of their humping instincts even when neutered. Besides the obvious sexual function, humping is a way that dogs assert dominance (even some female dogs hump). For some reason, this dog has to keep letting Elmo know who is top dog, meaning that Elmo must look like some kind of threat. I'd find Elmo a new home.
The links below discuss the issue of humping behavior in neutered dogs. Hope you find them helpful.

Who's Elmo? Perhaps it's Elma, a neutered female and they are trying to tell you something! Would you like it if a dog kept you as a toy?

I had a chihuahua who did this with a stuffed rabbit. The best thing to do is put elmo out of reach.

Its possible the dog might still hump. How long ago was the surgery? The hormones don't get out of the system right away.
