Possible definitions for vollies
collie
Breed of working dog developed in Britain, probably by the 18th cent. The rough-coated variety was originally used to guard and herd sheep; the smooth-coated variety was used to drive livestock to market. Both varieties are lithe dogs with a tapering head, almond-shaped eyes, and erect ears that tip forward at the ends. They stand 22-26 in. (56-66 cm) high, weigh 50-75 lbs (23-34 kg), and may be variously colored. See also border collie.
Jolliet
French-Canadian explorer. Born near Quebec, he led an expedition in the Great Lakes region in 1669. He was appointed to explore the Mississippi River with J. Marquette and five others. In 1673 they set out in birchbark canoes across Lake Michigan, following the Fox and Wisconsin rivers to the Mississippi, then down the Mississippi to its confluence with the Arkansas, concluding that the river flowed south to the Gulf of Mexico and not, as hoped, into the Pacific Ocean. After their return, Jolliet explored areas of Hudson Bay and the Labrador coast.
