Good job keeping him safe, Albert!
Are you moving his shot area around a bit and not shooting in the exact same spot?

I inject in one area around his right shoulder/scruff area but I try to move around that area up and down the small patch I have shaved. I got so comfortable doing this area that I was hesitant to move around, but I think I will start trying out the left side to alternate more.

When I injected this morning he wasn't laying in his usual optimal position so the skin I grabbed wasn't as loose as it usually is, but I was rushed. Mental note to take a breath and slow down next time.
 
Looks like he's surfing in the low greens again today!

Just need to get his nighttime numbers to cooperate now
 
Look at that gorgeous PM cycle!!! He's really working that .25 dose now and getting those PM numbers down, which is exactly what he needed to to do.
That higher AMPS yesterday might have been a result of the hairball?
As he's settling into this dose, it might be a good idea to catch a couple of later cycle numbers, like a +8 (maybe just before you give him his +9 snack??). That way you'll have a better idea of what's happening later in the cycle on this dose.
Also, if it were me, since Xander has lower numbers in the a.m. cycle, and since he is seeing a big drop from his PS number, I would make sure he eats a couple of tsps of his regular LC food at +1 and +2 to get those numbers up a teensy bit. You want to discourage bouncing, which can happen with sharp dives.

This morning I tried a small snack at +10 and it seems like it may not have worked - PMPS at 166.

Since he eats small amounts at a time, he typically eats throughout AMPS to +4

The +10 snack might have been too close to the preshot. Try a +8/+9, and nothing after the snack until the preshot.
I've mentioned this before, though, that this strategy doesn't work for Jude, but I think that's because he's on a higher dose.
Jude is a grazer, too, and eats like Xander--a little bit at a time through his cycle. In fact, I have to take his food away at +6 or he'll snack on it up until his preshot.
Xander definitely brought things down and is seeing some very nice numbers!
