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.

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.

Ahh, the Lady Gaga solution.

Before I settled on the stuffed animal on my speaker, I experimented with pizza slices. Interestingly, the sound was completely dependent on what toppings were on the pizza.

In all seriousness, I do have a frog on my speaker.

All the best,
