A lot of nuts are poison, especially macademias. Pecans are really bad for dogs when they're moldy, but when fresh they're more in the mildly bad category, causing gastrointestinal upset when a few are eaten (it does the same to me when I eat a bunch of them). I do comb my yard for them to throw them out, but squirrels bring them into my yard from my neighbors' and it's impossible to keep them out of my yard 100%. So when she finds one I'll let her have half it's decent or throw it away if it isn't, but never more than one every couple of days. If I just threw them all out then she'd run off with all of them, and I'd have a really hard time keeping her away from the rotten ones all black inside that are the bigger danger.
