Sentence

I need this sentence," Louise has fleas." put into progressive ,passive voice,and future perfect tense all at the same time. I have come up with "The fleas will have been being had ,by Louise."

I am aware that this is a highly unused way of writing but that can be laid at the feet of Dr. Mangum, my comp 1 teacher

thank you

Tell your teacher that the verb 'have' when it means 'possess' (and other stative verbs like 'resemble', 'suit') are not put into passive voice. He must choose an active, transitive verb.
