Ever try to keep a 130 lb dog on bed rest?

Our giant goofy dog, Dexter to his friends, has an injured CCL - the knee joint ligament similar to the ACL in humans.  Anti-inflamatories twice daily he's fine with...wrap a pill in liverwurst and he's a happy boy.  Being confined to the first floor...less happy.  

But were not budging no matter how pathetic he looks when he begs.  No stairs or running for the next 6-8 weeks and the vet thinks he has a good chance of healing on his own without surgery.  So it's for his own good.

hes actually taking it better than his sister who is pouty because doesn't understand why she has to chose between hanging with her brother or coming upstairs.

Awwww, poor doggie.  Definitely not easy keeping a dog on bed rest. We had to keep our 3kg dog quiet after she was desexed, and that was hard enough!  If we try and keep her downstairs she bangs on the door over and over again.  I imagine if your dog did this he'd almost knock the door down!  Good luck with the anti inflammatory tablets, hope they work and no operation is needed.
