Peggy,
What a generous person you are. Sorry to have missed the cut-off for our Thanksgiving trip.
Best wishes with your surgery next month and hope that your recuperation is easy.
BTW, for the rest of your plush animals.....don't know if they have this where you are, but, I'm sure you could find something similar. Our state police have a program they call the "teddy bear patrol" where people can donate money or new stuffed animals for the police to use when needed with dealing with children - such as in abuse cases, and, others as well.
