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.

Hey…at least he’s not suggesting we tape AAA batteries to our cables!

I don't know.  I might be concerned with the taxidermy chemicals being bad for the drivers.

And my posting asking if the air pressure in the listening room makes a difference got deleted?

No, something small and light won’t make and difference and neither will a little cat and dog hair on the grills.

I keep mine symmetrical. One has a moon globe on it, the other a Mars globe that are both 12" in diameter. Seriously, I don't think anything on top of the speaker matters all that much as long as it doesn't overhang the front baffle or resonate at any frequency. YMMV. (I did put some rubber bumpers under those globes stands just for the heck of it).
