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 guarantee that one of the better-known members of this Forum will swear up and down that the sound will improve if you put Purple or Orange Fuses in the stuffed animal. The sound improvement will be quantum leaps ahead of the current sound imaging. And the background will be blacker.

The only way to counter the negative effects of the stuffed animals is to put Townshend pods underneath them.

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.
