I have never owned a car so my possessions are few, so I hope to limit myself to 3-18 gallon rubber made tubs. All of which, including the dog, will fit on a trailer. I guess I am posting this just in hopes of getting comments, suggestions, experiences, etc.

One of those longest Bikes To Work trailers should carry anything you need. Are you planning on camping or using your credit card and booking into motels?
And a picture of your dog please.
What part of Oklahoma? Oklahoma City? Tulsa? Muskogee?
If you decide that you need a larger pod and are going to ride lighter, you might try one of the
U pack units from ABF. I used one when I moved from California to Arkansas. It made things much easier.
In any case, I'd split up the moving goods and trip. You have both the Appalachians and the Ozarks to get over. I'd make it the most fun you can for you and your dog and let most everything else ride in a box.
