While Meredith Grey is working on her issues on Grey's Anatomy, the show's star, Ellen Pompeo, enjoys a little therapy of her own, taking her pet poodles - named Valentino and Gigi - to walk and play in a Los Angeles-area park.

Ellen Pompeo, who recently appeared on The Late Show, was seen chatting it up with a friend, and throwing sticks for her pups as they enjoyed themselves on an overcast day. Isn't she just the best? Chris Ivery, you're one lucky guy.
