Agoofin: The only reason I am doing it this way is for the current_user. This is the only way I know how to make sure another user does not see a record created by someone else. If I knew another way to do this then I would avoid the nested resources. I can see where my current model is going to become a pain to manage. If I knew how to do that I would change my ways. Currently I do:
current_user.children.find(child).dogs.build(params[:dog]) I know there has to be a better way but I am glad it's working now. I am new and am sure as I improve I will discover the appropriate way to handle this. Thanks for the feedback.
