New member, new sod, mow problems

Hey everyone,
I just laid new turf in the backyard. 80% Kentucky bluegrass, 20% creeping red fescue. Followed every since step necessary for new sod. Watering making sure to keep the top inch of soil moist. Laid it the day it was cut.
It seems to have developed some brown spots in the lawn. And a green circle right in the middle. Sod has been down for 2 weeks come Wednesday.
Wife let dog urniate on lawn in a few spots when I wasn't home. Ugh.
Any thoughts about this issue? Will it resolve.

Kept soil moist but not muddy. Checking soil every day.

Should I do anything with the fungus?

We just got a huge rainfall last night so hopefully that gets things going! I'll adjust to add more water.
Does the middle green spot look like a fairy ring? I'm really concerned about that.

Would you recommend mowing now? There are still areas that are brown and have had root contact yet. Two weeks todaym. Would you recommend mowing a little off the top of everything? Some areas are getting rather long
Been applying tons of water every morning since I've made this post and it is starting to look better! Thanks wolverine
Update!
Yup! It was really dry. I just started watering more frequently and applied a high phosphorus fert to really establish the roots. Worked like a charm.
