Remind her of what happened last time.
There's no real great way of telling her not to get a dog, but I'd just honest with her. Puppies are work, as are adult dogs as well. Dogs aren't fish that swim in their tanks all day and live on their own. Dogs require a lot of work. Make sure she is aware of the work she has to put into training, feeding, and working with a dog. If she's not into that, tell her to get a fish. I have to tell people this all the time at the pet store I work at. It sounds harsh, but some people aren't meant to have dogs whether it be from lazyness or lack of will to learn how to properly take care of their pet.
