Origins of the story

Tumbleweed was based on a small Bantam that we had back in the mid 1970's. He started life the same as all the others, but for some reason he was picked upon by the other bantams who would peck at him, this we believe caused the brain damage that left him paralysed down one side, so he could not use his left leg. He could stand up but on a windy day you could see him tumble along the farm yard, the wind catching him off balance. So we would pick him up and place him in a sheltered spot. He received lots of cuddles and I personally thought the world of him, giving him his name, and making sure he was ok..he out lived all his tormentors, and lived for many years.
