Poor puppy!! It sounds like Charlie has a severe upset belly. People food is very bad for dogs. It can cause vomiting, diarrhea and even an inflamed pancreas. I would recommend taking him to a vet due to his young age. He might need medications to calm his belly and make him feel better. Also I would really try to limit his food intact to dog food and two meals a day. Young dogs do not always realize they are eating until they are sick.
