READY FOR A CLOSE UP: Franklin Spencer, with owner and best friend Kelsey Lima (Parlato’s daughter), puckers up for a smooch with Vader, a Chocolate Labrador puppy. Graycee, a French bulldog, sits in the foreground.

Purrs and Paws, Feline and Canine Training Facility on Pettaconsett Avenue in Warwick brought out a kissing board to share the Valentine’s Day spirit with their furry clients on Wednesday. The facility is a “one stop shop” for grooming, training and boarding dogs and cats. They will celebrate their one-year anniversary in the city in April. Owner Kim Parlato is serious about her commitment to the animals she takes care of – she spoke about how she often uses the same shower used by the large breed dogs and will take naps with the animals on a pull-out bed that sits inside the nicely-furnished indoor play area.
