Solitude and Silence Please

I need only two things
Every day after school
Silence and solitude 
To replenish my batteries
To rev my engine, so I can return to work tomorrow
Refreshed, eager, ready to give it another try

My husband loves solitude
He relishes it
He revels in it
He can entertain himself daily
He entertains our dogs too

The only one he refuses to entertain is Shark
Shark is our cat
Shark is older now 
Raccoons have invaded his outside space
So I have locked him into my office
Giving him solitude

Everyone gets solitude here except the dogs.
The pony horse dog follows the crotchety old lady dog 
In and out, around and through, all day long
There is lots of silence too. 
Until a Prime delivery truck arrives
Then all hell breaks loose.
