My husky is acting strange and I worry she has a bowel obstruction

I woke up this morning to a pile of food that was thrown up at some time in the night.  After cleaning that up I noticed that she has abnormally low energy levels for her. The only other times I've seen her like this she had a bowel obstruction.  She almost seems depressed in her mood so I tried taking her for a walk and normally she is pulling me out the door but she walked loose leash the whole time which is odd since she is normally a puller.  Is there a possibility that she is just sick?

I agree with Margot. There could be all sorts of reasons she threw up. Some would not be serious, and others could be. Usually a dog who throws up just to get rid of undigested food that didn't agree, car-sick, or after over-eating etc...will be fine in an hour or two, and even may be hungry again!
But any other symptom which continues, like lethargy etc might point to an infection or maybe some other problem.
If there's a history of bowel obstruction, then don't wait. See the vet.
I hope it is nothing serious and she feels better soon.

It is not unusual for dogs to throw up on occasion.  However, if you notice other symptoms, and it appea s you do, then it may be of concern.  You posted this some hours ago now.  Since she has a history of bowel obstruction, I would err on the side of caution and get her checked.
