What would you do?

I’ve been cutting for roughly 6 months. At this point I’m just exhausted.

At 5’10, 40 years old I believe I maintained a decent amount of muscle. I don’t know whether to keep going or start to maintain for the rest of the year. My original goal was about 180 but as definition came clearer I moved the target to 175. With summer almost over by the time I hit 175 it’ll be time for light hoodies and long sleeve shirts.

Part of me believes to move to maintenance and recomp what’s there, starting again in January if I wanted to get lower. The other part says keep going and hit the 175. I don’t want to start hearing the “you’re too skinny” comments but I never wanted to be too big.

Two 2-year-old Yorkie brothers suddenly fighting in the evenings

I had ChatGPT summarize my very long thread, excuse the AI…

My two Yorkie brothers (littermates, born March 2024) have recently started having conflicts after getting along well their entire lives.

Most of the time they’re completely fine. They play together, chase each other, sleep together, camp together, and can spend all day together without an issue. In fact, after a bad night they’ll often be back to normal the next morning.

The problem is that over the last few months they’ve started having fights almost exclusively in the evenings, usually after 7 PM. The common theme seems to be that one dog is on a couch, bed, or next to my wife receiving attention, treats, petting, or training. He’ll suddenly become stiff, freeze, stare at the other dog, then growl. The other dog reacts immediately and it escalates into barking, lunging, and fighting.

What makes this confusing is that they can literally spend the entire day together without a problem and then have an incident at 8:30 PM on the couch.

The dog that starts these incidents has also growled at a toddler approaching while sitting on my wife’s lap. Many of the incidents seem to involve my wife, but not necessarily every time. They rarely happen outside and almost never happen while we’re camping.

Has anyone dealt with dogs that get along 95% of the time but suddenly develop evening conflicts around couches, beds, attention, or a specific person? Does this sound more like resource guarding, social maturity at age 2, overtiredness, or something else?
