Something to do with the acidic nature of the urine and the base of the drywall counteracting it.

Personally my opinion is:

1) A dog
2) A nice backyard

Pick one.
I would tend to agree with you, however, I don't have my own backyard. I live in a townhouse and share a green space with neighbours. I'd be kinda ticked if my neighbours covered the entire green space with yellow polka dots. This is why we are trying to fix the spots.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I went to Home Depot and picked up some turf builder and new top soil and a watering can. Will try and fix it on the weekend.

We have now decided that our dog will only go to the bathroom on a square of rocks that is beside our deck. She's not too pleased with this decision currently, but she'll get over it I'm sure.
