Advice for the day
Next time a bird craps on your head don't be angry - be thankful dogs can't fly.

In some cultures, having a bird crap on your head is considered good fortune. God knows why.

When our dogs were pups they not allowed upstairs for a host of reasons, not the least being one of them liked to do its (solid and liquid) business up there. I think it's a territory marking thing. Eventually we took the gate away and had no problems.
Then our first grandie arrived and we put the gate back and it stayed there for about a year. When we took the gate away at the start of last summer unbeknownst to us one of the dogs decided upstairs was going to be its toilet again. Return of territory again.
The dog pee must have pooled in a slight depression in the floor and eventually the pee got through some of the gaps in the Jarrah boards and pooled on top of the pine lined ceiling of the kitchen below.
One night I got up at about 3 am for a drink and walking across the dark kitchen floor to get a glass I slipped and fell on a sticky smelly pool of liquid. While laying on the floor amongst the mess I also felt some drops of it falling onto my face.
I knew instantly what had happened and sure enough upstairs there was a semi dry pool of pee about 50 cm across and quite a few dried up solid droppings scattered around the place fortunately no sloppy ones..
After cleaning up it took ~2 more days for the wee drips to stop coming into the kitchen below.
We sent about 2L of Ecoworx cleaning fluid through the same path way and that took about 3 days to come through and by then the smell had gone.
There's not even a stain on the kitchen ceiling to show where it had been
We thought the smell might return as summer progressed but so far so good, we'll be watching out for it again this winter.
