Give yourself some time to grieve. I'll never forget reading my mom's letter at dental school telling me that my Dusty had died. I just sat there and bawled.... took me weeks to get over it. And of course it brought back all of the other memories of other dogs I had that had passed on.
When the time is right, you'll know it, then you can honor Charlie by getting another canine companion.
