Something on top of a speaker=okay?

We have a (toy) stuffed dog laying on top of one of our floorstanding speakers. Does this affect the sound?  

Do I need to find an identical breed of stuffed dog to put on the other speaker to maintain balance? Does it matter if it's a dog, an elephant or a cute bunny? What about the color? We can dye the dog's fur if that improves the soundstage.

I don’t place anything on my speakers. I can’t understand why people do. It’s not a plant stand for gosh sakes.

I apologize for having two small bronzes on my speakers that are not symmetrical.

Funny how all the words come out whichever speaker I set her on...

(that's a joke)

As long as the dog is stuffed with Owens-Corning 703...

Unless one paw is hanging down in front of the tweeter, I can't see how it can make a difference.

Raw meat does provide some cabinet resonance dampening, but I've found it rots and gets smelly pretty fast so you have to change it frequently.
