Unexpected visitor

Living on the corner of Crack alley and Ho lane in that giant "white elephant", I learned to never be shocked about what I saw from the window of that house or when I went outside the door. One morning that rule went completely out the window. It was early on a Saturday morning and I was just coming down the stairs. Brian (my husband) had gone to work very early that morning as he did a lot on Saturdays. When I got to the bottom of the stairs, Brian was coming through the door. "Hon, he said, there's a man laying on the front yard." "Do what, I said." "There's a man laying on the front lawn." I went and looked out the window, thinking he was joking. He was not joking. We stared at him through the window for a while and I asked Brian: "Is he breathing?" "I don't know, he said." "Well go check, I told him." "No you go check, he said!" "Fine." I put Cozette's leash on her, took her outside with me while Brian watched from the window. We went up to the man and he didn't move and Cozette didn't growl. Cozette and I stood over him and watched him for a moment to see if he was breathing. He was. I poked at him with a stick and said: "Hey fella!" Nothing. Again, louder I said: "Hey fella!" He started to blink his eyes and come around. When he finally came to and opened his eyes all the way, Cozette was staring him directly in the face. I don't know what his first thought was as he came around and realized that a giant dog was standing over him, looking him squarely in the face. Now you have to remember that Cozette out weighed me by 40 lbs. so when he awoke he must have been a little intimidated. He started to move and Cozette started to growl. I gave her a quick yank on her leash and she got quiet. He sat up and I told him: "You're on my property and you need to move it along." He had the nerve to look at me and look pissed. I imagine his thoughts were can I whoop this heffa before this dog rips my throat out. Had he asked, the answer would have been no. I told him again to move it along and he reluctantly got up and stumbled away. After that, I really was never again surprised by what I saw outside my front door.
