'He tripped over one of Jason's toys beside the swimming pool,' Yael said of the incident.
She added that Molly has been left with numerous 'health issues' after the falls and sometimes struggles to walk.
'He can't do long walks anymore, so I sometimes have to hire him a wheelchair, which he hates, because he's too proud and annoying!' she said.
