Internet shopping and loony canines

Changed jobs recently, and now get paid in the middle of the month. It seemed brilliant since I used to be paid on the last day of the month. It had been 6 weeks since my last payday so I really needed some money. We were almost out of food. Also had no fresh veggies at all so nothing that could be called healthy. One of the recent big disasters was a falafel mix. I made it up exactly as it said on the packet.........It was an add water job..........but it was inedible slop and not at all like falafel is meant to be. Anyway decided to go internet shopping since there are no health shops within about 20 miles worth visiting and even the local Tesco isnt up to much. Mind you I was spoilt when we lived in the city since we were about half a mile from what is one of the biggest Tesco in Europe! Not that particularly prefer Tesco over anyone else. I dont actually have any allegiance to anyone but convenience does count for a lot when you are busy. I paid nearly all my money to bills anyway since I hadnt been paid for so long and the account had got into overdraft. Sometimes I really wonder. I go to work and then give nearly all my wages away every month! Well the food stocks had been running pretty low. Even basics such as dried food like soya were running out so it was internet shopping time. Visited Redwood food and Vegan store.co.uk and bought a wide variety of strange foods. Many we havent tried before but I have heard great reviews of a product called " Dixie not tuna" so I have bought that. You just add water I think and can use it to make sarnies or fish(type) pies. Cant wait for it all to arrive. Ofcourse it could be another disaster like the falafel. So far bought food from 2 websites and also went sale shopping at an eco site. Tho about half of what I bought there was washing up liquid and samu soap nuts (I use these instead of washing powder and conditioner and they are brilliant and actually work out to be about half the price as well as not polluting the planet so really good to get into). Also bought some bird houses, recycled fluorescent green glass dinner plates and a top for M. He doesnt know yet so hope he likes it. Its made from Hemp! he never buys clothes tho so I feel its ok to spend on stuff for him. Last night visited nearest local supermarket which turns out to be Aldi. Well very impressed. Didnt spend much and seem to have loads of fresh fruit and veg. Though tomatoes are very expensive there. Shop was pretty empty too so easy to shop there. Mind you it was 7.00pm on a Monday night so it could be a totally different matter at the weekend. Anyway at least now we wont starve to death. Then after shopping decided to take my darling dogs for a walk to post my Grandma`s birthday card. Reggie decided to have a freak out when he saw a spaniel. The spaniel hadnt done anything it was just there and my dogs both hate every other dog they see. This is a pain since firstly it is very embarrassing. And secondly he sets his brother off. Ronnie is fine when Reggie is not there but he seems to think if Reggie starts screaming at another dog then he needs help or protect his brother. The pack instinct takes over. So anyway there we are dragging our not very big but totally loony dogs down the road. The spaniel is soon out of sight but will mad dog shut up? he just screammed this horrible noise till we got to the house. So he didnt go a very long walk last night which was good for me but not so good for loony canines. Poor mad creatures virtually never get to be free off leads. We just cannot trust them not to attack other peoples dogs and I would hate to be responsible for them hurting someone. Does everyone with a rescue dog have problems like this? I mean they are adorable darlings and so soft and they just change character every now and then when other dogs come into sight!
